Evildoer

The life of a town called Primorskaya Adost is full of secrets, and the main one is an ancient legend about the evil monster.
At the coastal hotel "Grand Nautilus" twelve-year-old Herbert Limmon faithfully serves as the caretaker of the lost and found office. He returns lost or forgotten things to guests, but one day Violetta appears in his closet and asks for help in returning her... parents, who have disappeared without a trace in these parts.
How is their disappearance connected to the evildoer? Why are local collector of marine curiosities Mrs. Ammonite, museum curator Dr. Laminario and famous writer Sebastian Minogue so interested in a ruby-colored glass? And what does the imperious Lady Kraken, the hotel owner, see in her moon chamber?
If you are ready for incredible adventures and exciting reading, the mechanical fish-monger in the book pharmacy will definitely prescribe you "Zlomandra"!
