Condition: Aceptable. : En un tranquilo pueblo de Connecticut, una llamada nocturna desde una cabina telefónica lleva al descubrimiento de un profesor de historia estonio muerto. Paul Tomm, un joven reportero inquieto, recibe el soplo, pero le cuesta encontrar datos concretos para el obituario del hombre. Pronto sospecha que la muerte, y la vida, del profesor Jaan Puhapaev fueron de todo menos normales. A medida que descubre más sobre el pasado del profesor, cada vez más misterioso, Paul se adentra en un mundo de incertidumbres. Una biblioteca de raras obras alquímicas plantea más preguntas de las que responde. Un bar de mala muerte dirigido por un siniestro albanés parece ser la tapadera de operaciones mucho más oscuras. Hannah, la seductora vecina de Jaan, es tan enigmática como seductora. ¿Podrían quince objetos arcanos ser la clave del rompecabezas? ¿Y le conducirán a la verdad no sólo sobre una serie de muertes inexplicables, sino también sobre el secreto de la vida misma? Alguien no quiere que Paul Tomm lo descubra.

The bizarre and dangerous circumstances under which these alchemical objects change hands are testament to their extraordinary value, but it is not until nine hundred years later that a young reporter on a local paper, Paul Tomm, stumbles upon evidence that someone is collecting them again. Investigating the suspicious death of a local professor, Tomm finds the dead man's heavily fortified office stuffed with books on alchemy and clues that the man's life was as suspicious as his death . . . *** Quantity Available: 1.
