His angry father refuses him material support, and Paul leads a modest life as a novice writer, which, however, does not prevent him from falling madly in love with the daughter of the owner of a second-hand bookshop.
Events take an unexpected and dangerous turn when Paul's mother secretly sends him a gold Indian brooch in the form of a snake encrusted with opals and diamonds. Brooch turns out to be the key to the mysterious and dark past of the bookseller, which he tried to escape for more than twenty years ... The novel "The Mystery of Piccadilly" - a dizzying murder investigation, the victim of which is found in the fog near the famous London street.
