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.)

Last year, I sacrificed everything (the human race included) to learn the name of my daughter's killer, and then had to give that knowledge up in order to save the world I'd doomed.

And now, with only the reanimated corpse of my boss, a low-rent P.I. who's heavily into conspiracy theories, and my alcoholic, foul-mouthed, demonic dog by my side, I have to save the world again. (Yeah, karma's a b*tch.) But this time it's from Fae gangs fighting over the streets of London and the Seven Deadly Sins.

Oh yeah. And did I mention planning a heist to break into the most secure bank in Faerie? Because that's on the agenda too. And 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.)

an early Tarantino version of an urban fantasy... The war is coming, says the cover; given this first battle, it's going to be one hell of a ride
