This collection could be kept in a building, office or furniture. In such private collections one could find books, paintings, or examples of natural and non-natural history. Dragon tooth, Fijian mermaid, unicorn horn — all these items had their own history.

Luck smiles at him — Nick finds a ouija table, and a friend advises him to turn to Agatha — a woman collects such things and pays well for them. Seeing how rare things Nick brought her, Agatha calls an old friend to come and evaluate them. Roland offers to buy back the books that were inside the table, but he needs another one to have the entire collection.

In search of it, Nick and Roland go to the warehouse, where a secret room opens up. They find many clippings of the deceased warehouse owner’s sister as they make their way through the dark labyrinth. The stench pursues them more and more and, finally, they find an inanimate woman tied to the floor, who has no face. She’s been lying there so long that her hair is stuck to the floor.
