Synopsis

John Taylor is the name. I work the Nightside. Only in that dark heart of London where it's always three A.M., where human and inhuman can feed their darkest desires, do I feel at home. Probably because I was born there.

What I do is find things—people, objects—and in this case, the truth about the origins of the Nightside.

That's what Lady Luck has hired me to investigate. But the more I dig, the more I discover, not about the Nightside but about the great question in my life: exactly who—and what—was my long-vanished mother.

Paying jobs are one thing. Personal quests are another. And I've been warned that uncovering the facts about dear old mum could be a very bad thing, not just for the Nightside but for all of existence.

Still I can't stop . . . I'm John Taylor. Finding things is who I am. It's what I do. Whatever the consequences . . .

5 Stars Hex and the City by Simon R. Green is the fourth book in the Nightside series. These stories are classic noir like private eye mysteries in an urban fantasy setting. They are perfect for my interests today. I have been reading a lot of urban fantasy lately. Combine my new favorite genre with......more

Goodreads review by Alan on October 17, 2024

I know I'm doing more audiobooks now, but that's because by the time I get around to picking up a tablet or paperback at home I'm nodding off from getting up at 3 a.m. And, the nice thing about the Nightside books is how much shorter they are than Southern Man (I'm six hours in to a 46 hour book). Th......more

Goodreads review by Stewart on July 19, 2019

It isnt as crisply written as the earlier books. The humor stumbles at times, and some of the action is lazy. However, at the same time, when the book is on target it shines. And we finally solve the mystery regarding John Taylor and Nightside. An overall fun read......more
