Dorfi on väike saar Läänemeres, kus ühe suve jooksul toimub saareelanike elus mitmeid tulevikku määravaid sündmusi. Panoraamse külaelu kujutuse keskmes on kirglik armastuslugu, mis jõuab sügise saabudes oma loogilise lõpuni. Peeter Urmi kujutuslaad on ka selles teoses jõuline ja lugejat köitev.

Hea lugeja, sinu ees olev romaan on juba kolmas «Ippoliti»sarja liigituv teos. Kui küsida, mis teeb selle eriliseks võrreldes kaheeelnevaga, siis tegemist pole enam kogumikuga, vaid romaaniga. Maa on võõreluhaardes. Säilinud on vaid väike lapike, kus osutatakse vastupanu. Veel oninimesi, kes teevad kõik, mis nende võimuses, et inimkonna koduplaneet jääksneile alles. See lapike on Eesti. Need inimesed on eestlased.

Kui Henry pole ettevaatlik, teeb naine ta lolliks oma metsikute, sardooniliste naljadega ja ajab ta farmist ja oma peast igaveseks välja. Ta peab olema ettevaatlik. Ta peab naise kinni püüdma, nagu püütakse hirve või metskurvitsat, kui jahile minnakse. Pole kasu metsa minemisest ja hirvele ütlemisest: «Palun lange mu püssi ees.» ei, see on aeglane, õrn lahing.

Krimiosakonna vaneminspektor Andres Västrik ehk Vistrik (nagu teda semud kutsuvad) on jõudnud punkti, kus kõik ta ümber laguneb: naine tõstab majast välja, tütar ignoreerib, tööl juhtub üks apsakas teise otsa, sest tema moraal ja intuitsioon on lihtsalt nii tugevad selle jama jaoks. Tagatipuks pagendatakse ta Pärnu kriminaaltalitusse, kus tema paarimeheks määratakse kena operatiivtöötaja Rita Leidpalu. Algab uus elu.
