Nightingale's lament - Simon R. Green

The name’s John Taylor. I work the garish streets of the Nightside-the hidden heart of London where it’s always three A.M., where in human creatures and otherworldly gods walk side by side in the endless darkness of the soul.

I have a talent for finding things. People…property…no problem. But now I’m after something different.

A local diva called the Nightingale has cut herself off from her family and friends, and I’ve been hired to find out the reason. I’m also wondering why her suicide-prone fans think she has a voice to die for. Literally.


To get the truth, I’ll have to lend an ear to the most enticingly beautiful and deadly voice in all of the Nightside-and survive.
