The first book in the Nightside series. John Taylor left the Nightside, the secret city within London where you can find anything you might want, 5yrs ago and swore never to return but when Joanna walks into his office with plenty of money looking for her teenage daughter who has runaway and appears to be in the Nightside...well, he just couldn't refuse. Their journey opens Joanna's eyes (and the readers) to some of the players and ins-n-outs of the Nightside. What they find is more than anyone, even John Taylor who thought he had seen it all, could have imagined.
The writing really reminds me of the whole film noir genre in it's pacing, tone, and verbiage. It was obviously meant as the starter of a series as it's very much about building the world, John Taylor's character, and the players involved in the Nightside while the plot was fairly basic. In all, it was a fun read when you want to turn the brain off and fans of the Dresden files and those of that ilk would probably enjoy it.
