After the Great Stink, big changes happen in Omnipolis—just as in Conrad Arwister’s life. Vampires, or rather the vampires that destroyed an entire world, have become extremely inconvenient for the Administration. So Conrad and his “chick” are literally swept under the rug, carefully pretending they don’t exist. Unfortunately, there’s no way out of service—at least the salaries are left in a deep past. Trouble, trouble… But not so big compared to the bad reputation seeping out of every crack. And what if you add to that an infatuated nun possessed by a demon who has become a rock star? And do you want to see his own obsession with a herd of dead men led by the legendary witch? We’d still need to look for the missing Scorchwoods somewhere. Affairs… Affairs… And then the ratchedds suddenly started moving. Not a good sign. Has anyone seen Mouse?
