Helpful Score: 1

The first in Simon Green's "Nightside" series, set in the dark, magical heart of London, which private eye John Taylor slips into from time to time. He knows the place well, having grown up there, and has quite a few strong and mysterious magical powers of his own, which help him stay alive in this deadly place - just barely. The first-person narration verges on being a bit too glib, but the story - in which a rich woman hires John to find her daughter who's lost in the Nightside - is twisty and fun, with a lively mixture of dark humor and truly horrific incidents.
