Lady Antonia de Velviche — the Reader. This is what they call those who have the rare gift of reading the souls of other people. She moves from the capital to a quiet, remote town, where she joins the local police department, since her gift is simply irreplaceable when conducting interrogations. She also hires a butler as an assistant — a criminal who has dozens of serious crimes on his conscience.
Meanwhile, girls begin to disappear in the town, who are later found murdered. Rare witnesses claim to have seen a person who looks very much like an ordinary scarecrow — as if lifeless, a doll. The department begins an investigation, and Antonia will have to conduct a considerable number of interrogations.
But Readers, with frequent use of their gift, lose their common sense and drive crazy those whose souls they read. The first suspect after interrogation requires emergency medical care, and the health of Lady de Velviche is at risk. But the butler comes in very handy here. This man is capable of not only helping the lady get out of her difficult situation, but also, perhaps, finding the killer...
