| Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. My name is John Taylor. I've made that a name to be respected and feared, but it's also made me a target my whole life.
I operate as a private eye, in a world where gods and monsters are real. The Nightside: the sick, the secret magical heart of London. A place where dreams come true, whether you want them to or not. It's not easy to find a way in, and even harder to find a way out.
I can find anything, solve any mystery. Except the answers to the dark and deadly secrets to my own past.
My name is John Taylor. And if you've come looking for me, either you're in trouble, or you're about to be.Â

There are all kinds of Powers running loose in the Nightside, but its power sources have to be rather more reliable, as well as completely divorced from outside interference. | |

The heroes of Simon R. Green books often deal with one case before an even worse one, the main plot, begins. This book is no exception.
NOTES:
Chapter 1:
a. See book two, Agents of Light and Darkness, for the case of the Unholy Grail.
b. John was the bride's oldest friend at the wedding of Melinda Dusk, the Hanged Man's Beautiful Daughter to Quinn the Sunslinger. Their families had been feuding for centuries. They were murdered the day they were married six years ago. Vincent 'The Mechanic' Kraemer, who owns and manages Prometheus, Inc., was the best man.
Chapter 2:
a. According to his secretary, Cathy Barrett (who usually drinks 'champers'), John drinks wormwood brandy only when he's lost someone close to him. According to John, it takes like a supermodel's tears.
Mentions: the Beehive's 'Honey Lingers', phrenology,
