The first case of Investigator Robert Fox
    
    A rational detective encounters the incredible... and becomes an investigator for supernatural cases
    
    Vernia in the year 1917 - Robert Fox and his young assistant Emil live in the industrial city of Brasston. The winter is rough and money is tight. Thus, the case of the missing Blackwell son comes in at just the right time. Investigations on the estate of the writing instrument magnate have stalled. Fox has no idea that this case will be the turning point of his life. When old records of the case fall into his hands, a question obtrudes itself that turns his rational worldview upside down: Was his dismissed predecessor right after all and monsters are secretly existing in the flesh? Such a truth creates new problems, since his client expects a down-to-earth explanation before he pays.
    
    Oftentimes, criminal cases in Vernia remain unsolved and get laid to rest along with the note »supranaturalism«, as if an unknown force of nature had been responsible. These borderline cases are the bread and butter of private investigators specialised in curious and extraordinary phenomena.
