John Taylor is the name, and I work the Nightside. Only in that dark heart of London where it's always 3 a.m., where human and inhuman can feed their darkest desires, do I feel at home, probably because I was born here.
What I do is find things, people, objects, and in this case, the truth about the origins of the Nightside. That's what Lady Luck has hired me to investigate. But the more I dig, the more I discover, not about the Nightside but about the great question in my life: exactly who and what was my long-vanished mother?
Paying jobs are one thing. Personal quests are another. And I've been warned that uncovering the facts about dear old mum could be a very bad thing, not just for the Nightside but for all of existence.
Still, I can't stop. I'm John Taylor. Finding things is who I am. It's what I do . . . whatever the consequences . . .
