Privatdetektivin Lucy hat sich auf übernatürliche Fälle spezialisiert. Und von denen gibt es so einige in Berlin, wo es von übersinnlichen Phänomenen nur so wimmelt.

Plus about a day before the book turns our world - and us - inside out.

Just as soon as we get through dealing with disapproving reapers, irate magicians, zombie-fied chickens, and a small internal case of undeadness. Trust us.
