2022br. Un'assurda, insensata serie di attentati e di omicidi funesta Londra. I responsabili non sono i servizi segreti stranieri né un gruppo terroristico, ma persone comuni che all'improvviso compiono gesti di una violenza inaudita e inspiegabile. L'aria è tossica, minacciosa, carica di rabbia. Il paese è nel caos. Il Primo Ministro crea una nuova polizia speciale, la Sezione, e le affida pieni poteri. Eva B, la donna chiamata a dirigerla, incarica delle indagini i suoi due uomini migliori, il Porco e Dennis Tabbot. Sono agenti a dir poco particolari: enormi, insolitamente agili, del tutto insensibili al dolore, sprovvisti di qualsiasi morale e abilissimi torturatori. Soprattutto sono esperti di una magia feroce e sporca, il voodoo urbano. Da loro ci si aspetta che fermino la lunga scia di sangue. Ma ogni sforzo sembra vanificarsi contro un nemico multiforme e invisibile, sempre un passo avanti. Non basta unire i puntini sulla mappa, bisogna capire chi l'ha disegnata, prima che anche il Regno Unito prenda fuoco come il resto dell'Europa. Combinando elementi horror, grotteschi e surreali, Orso Tosco ha scritto un noir acido e potente, intriso di tematiche new weird, nel quale il confine tra realtà e fantascienza crolla in via definitiva e la deformazione e l'allucinazione sembrano le ultime strade possibili per raccontare la realtà esasperata e sconvolta in cui siamo ormai abituati a vivere.
