Heartbreaker (2013)
“The room seemed to contain every kind of people. It was hard to say who they were, the hoods left very little to be seen, but sometimes it was possible to at least figure out what they were, and Shim was amazed by the sheer variety of races gathered in that place.
After the first, intense initial ritual, it seemed like the gathering had morphed into a kind of theme party, albeit a quite macabre one. The participants had split into small groups who were talking quietly between them. The dete...ctive was able to slip into some of those, nonchalantly starting to talk about the heartless victim found. No one asked him who he was, just like he had been told, neither did he.
All the people he talked to seemed to agree on the fact that such behavior from a necromancer was to be deprecated, that it was going to throw mud on the whole category. They shared a wide range of remarks going from the politely annoyed to the explicitly colorful. None but a few, however, seemed to know anything of the subject, even just for having heard anything in passing.MoreLess
