"Evil Reflected in the Mirror" is an exciting detective story in the setting of mysticism and noir. The plot blends elements of urban fantasy, and the role of the investigator is unexpectedly forced onto a professional killer. Taking on this unusual assignment, he simply has to finish the job, because, all of a sudden, his own life is on the line. Family secrets, magical artifacts, black magic, and lies create a truly tangled intrigue, and a bit of humor dilutes the dark atmosphere of the magical detective story. The main hero—Jeremy Howle—is known to many readers from the cycle "The Road of the Disappeared," but here he becomes a participant in a completely separate story that happened long before the events of the cycle.
