Overview

In the Nightside-that hidden area in the middle of London where time stands still at three A.M. and the sun won't rise to refute it-nightmares go walking in borrowed flesh, and not everything that looks back at you with human eyes is really human.



I'm John Taylor, a PI with a knack for finding things, helping those the Nightside has chewed up and is about to spit out. All things considered, my life lately had been bright, even in this shadowy place.



So it was only a matter of time before everything hit the fan. Walker-the powerful, ever-present, never-to-be-trusted agent who runs the Nightside on behalf of the authorities-paid me a visit. He told me he is dying and that he, too, has a job for me. An important job.



His.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

The gripping, suspenseful, and wry 10th tale in the Nightside supernatural detective series proves every bit the equal of Jim Butcher's better-known Harry Dresden books. The action picks up not long after 2009's Just Another Judgement Day as Lord Screech, an elf claiming to be a peace emissary who has just negotiated a treaty between powerful elvish rivals, enlists PI John Taylor's help in getting safe passage to a portal to another realm. Despite his misgivings about Screech's honesty, Taylor and Ms. Fate, a transvestite crime fighter who “might have heard of taste, but only as something other people had,” battle werewolves and Neanderthals to deliver Screech to his destination and tackle several other challenges. Longtime fans and first timers alike will applaud Green's blend of fantasy, mystery, and humor. (Jan.)

Library Journal

John Taylor, P.I., works London's Nightside, a hidden area where time is frozen at 3 a.m. and where sunlight never appears. An unusual job, escorting an elven lord safely from one end of Nightside to the other, places him into direct conflict with Walker, the enigmatic agent who maintains some semblance of order in Nightside and who presents him with an offer he desperately wants to refuse. Green's tenth Nightside novel (after Just Another Judgement Day) features the author's hallmark witty storytelling, quicksilver plotting, and a plethora of vividly imagined characters drawn from myth, folklore, and urban legend. VERDICT Readers who appreciate urban fantasy told with a flair for the ironic should find this hard-boiled fantasy detective tale to their liking.
