Nightside (book series)

Nightside is a series of twelve fantasy novels by author Simon R. Green.

Setting

The series is focused on John Taylor, a private investigator based in the fictional Nightside, a dark, hidden netherworld of London in which the supernatural and science fiction super-technology co-exist.
