The book is a fantasy detective story with elements of steampunk. Here’s a continuation of this story—the novel “Smoke Behind the Masks.” The owner of a circus, Shtefan Nadoshi, really doesn’t like the fact that a revolution has started in the country where he works. But even more than that, he doesn’t like the new magician-illusionist. Nadoshi also isn’t fond of sea voyages and snow. Yet the circus owner loves schnapps, money checks, and the show’s leading performer, Heather. Shtefan stubbornly tries to save his business and tries everything to do it—from supporting patrons… to a mysterious old camera that might give him far more than “bags of money.” By the way, if he uses it, the revolution might not seem so scary after all. Listen to a new story where detective work and mysticism intertwine into the most interesting plot.
