But when an insecure wife asks whether her husband will abandon her to join a sinister cult, Madame Karitska, as wise as she is lovely, chooses not to reveal all that she foresees. And when an attache case is suddenly dropped into her lap by a man fleeing a crowded subway, she knows it's time to consult her good friend Detective-Lieutenant Pruden. A nine-year-old accused of murder, a man dying a slow death by witchcraft, for the hunted and the haunted, Madame Karitska's shabby downtown apartment becomes a haven, where brilliant patterns of violence, greed, passion, and strange obsessions mix and disintegrate with stunning, kaleidoscopic beauty."@en

Her most troubling case, however, occurs when a subway incident leaves her with an attache case full of diamonds."@en
