The Nightside series is set in London, England and built upon the premise of a sort of "underground" world/London in which all vice/illicit desire/things that society kicks to the curb exist and are amplified. In the Nightside, it is always 3am, reality isn't obvious/existent, persay, and crazy bleep happens. The series follows PI John Taylor and his crazy "friends," Susie Shooter and Razor Eddie as they find the solutions to mysteries (Taylor is gifted with a "Sight" that helps him find things, he claims not to solve mysteries, although that is basically what he does).

This novel is the second in the series, which means that the first one was good enough to peak my attention. The story was entertaining, but I felt that there were a lot of things that could have been expounded on. Elements of the plot and the story world that I found intriguing were brushed over and dismissed. There was lots of telling rather than showing. But still, and entertaining read.
