The fog-choked sequel to Poison City, about which Claire North raves, ` Rarely has policing the apocalypse been so awesome!` Cop. Drunkard. Low-grade magic user. My name is Gideon Tau, but most people just call me London. (Because that`s where I`m from. Get it? Hilarious.) Three years ago, someone killed my daughter. I sacrificed everything (the human race included) to learn his name
- & then had to allow that knowledge to be erased from my mind in order to save the world I`d doomed. Fantastic. Now I have to start over from scratch, & who do I have to help me find my daughter`s killer? The reanimated corpse of my boss, a low-rent P.I. who`s heavily into conspiracy theories, & my alcoholic, foul-mouthed demonic sidekick dog. Our journey will take us from Durban, South Africa to London, Engl&, where we`ll have to contend with Fae gangs fighting for territory, the murder-suicide of two Delphic agents & the seven deadly sins. Oh, & did I mention planning a heist to break into the most secure bank in Faerie? Because that`s on the agenda too. & if we fail? An ancient horned god will destroy London. (The city, not me. Although, to be fair, I don`t think I`ll survive either
