A killer is murdering Goths with brutal relish – skinning and butchering them. The cops aren’t getting anywhere, so Jack Nightingale’s nemesis, Superintendent Chalmers, asks him for help.So another adventure for Jack Nightingale and as usual it was fast paced, brilliant, often dark but offset with ironic humour and the most fun you are likely to have with a book for a while.In this instalment, after all the work Jack has put in to make his world right again, he is in for a bit of a rollercoaster ride of doom. After he is cajoled and pretty much threatened into helping the indomitable Superintendent Chalmers work out who might have it in for the local goth community he finds himself caught up in old grudges and in a heck of a lot of trouble.What I adore most about these books is that Stephen Leather NEVER lets his characters or his world stagnate – you are never exactly sure where he will take you or Jack and it gives the whole series a fresh feel with every single novel. Every single time I finish one of these I immediately want more and that was especially true at the end of this one – How can I wait? Its cruel and unusual punishment…I love this series with a fiery vengeance. Like “Supernatural” on acid, it always take me on a fascinating, endlessly compelling, terrifically terrifying and never ever dull journey to the dark side. More please. As soon as possible.Happy Reading Folks!
