Then there''s the enchanting Zoya who could cast a spell with her looks―and as a witch she often does (she also recently impaled her ex on a spike).Inspector Vidot on the other hand is a hardworking police detective who cherishes a quiet evening at home. Until he follows a lead on a particularly gruesome murder―and finds himself turned into a flea. And the adventure wouldn''t be complete without Oliver a fun-loving American patrician who has come to Paris to launch a literary journal with the support of certain secretive friends.Add a few chance encounters a chorus of angry witches and a weaponized LSD program and you have Toby Barlow''s Babayaga: a wickedly sharp tale of the City of Light that''s part love story part thriller and pure brilliance.
