The former jack-of-all-trades circus performer Lenya, nicknamed the Marquis, and his faithful companion Lola set out on yet another complicated case. But this time, everything goes wrong right from the start. Not only did someone kidnap Lenya like a lamb for barbecue—but the potential client was shrouded in such a veil of mystery that getting any information about him and his case was no easier than moving the pedestal of the Bronze Horseman. For the first time in his life, Lenya found himself at a dead end. If anyone learned about it, the Marquis’s reputation as an extremely clever, tight-lipped man who can sort out even the touchiest situation would be ruined. But while he was thinking about how to get out of this mess with the least losses, Lola—the smart and beautiful Lola—came to his rescue.
