Hex and the City

Simon R. Green

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...

Praise for this book

Praise for Simon R. Green's Novels of the Nightside:

"A macabre and thoroughly entertaining world." - Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files

"Cross The X-Files with The Twilight Zone, add a pinch of The Outer Limits and a dash of Eerie, Indiana, and one might have a glimmer of an idea what the Nightside is like." - BookBrowser
