Autumn is upon us. I like the rain and the wind – it vastly improves on the smell of the city. We are moving. Since Niall has moved out of his flat, Mackenzie has been on a lookout for at place to stay that was not right next to her mother. Vincent and I haveFortsæt læsning “11.

Niall has left us. The heiress Caroline Mathilde showed up with a baby on her arm, and told him that he was the father. So he left with her. I am a little dissapointed that he reneged on his promise to Artemis to look out for me, but I am sure that Artemis will understandFortsæt læsning “10. The case of the demon and the baker’s wife”

We throw our bags on the floor by the bed, too tired to unpack. I fall into our chair and Vincent drops to the bed with his arms wide. We both sigh deeply. What a trip!

I run to hug her – we all do – and we laugh and talk all at once. She has been in Valakia, where it is presumablyFortsæt læsning “7. How to exorcise a demon”

1. Homeless The journey home from Nanga is rather trivial compared to the last couple of months. The weather is surprisingly mild, and we encounter no storms at all.

I am 31 years old, but I feel 100. I sit with my back against the wall in the hospital in Kandehar. Vincent sits next to me, and MacKenzie sits on his other side.

I am 31 years old and winter is upon us. The first snow falls prettily and quietly, and covers the city in white dust. For a day the streets are clean and bright. But soon the snow is black with coaldust and dirt, and we put on galoshes and raise our skirts not to getFortsæt læsning “4. The case of the ruined city”

We lay low for a while. I redo Vincent’s tattoos and can practically hear the demon growl under his skin as I do so. Henry has his eyes seen to, and then goes away for a while to recuperate.
