Hell to Pay - Simon R Green 264 pagesSimon Green has created a world called the Nightside, a city within a city, filled with all manner of creatures, gods and magic. John Taylor is a private investigator whose special gift is the ability to find anything. His case this time is to find the missing granddaughter of one of the richest and most powerful men in the Nightside. Only this time something is blocking his talent and he only has 24 hours to find her.
If you are a fan of Jim Butcher's Dresden files, you'll probably enjoy Green's series. The main character is a wise cracking, world weary guy who seems to be the last bastion of decency in a world gone to the dogs. Green has created a world rich in detail, with memorable characters. This is not a deep or thought provoking read, but like a potato chip, a satisfying junk food read to refresh your brain.
