Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth

John Taylor is a PI for hire in the Nightside, the dark and corrupt city within the city of London. Where the sun never shines and where pleasure and horror are always on sale - for the right price. John Taylor cares that this place is about to be destroyed. He was born there, lives there and got friends there. They might not all be acceptable in polite company, but they're his friends, nonetheless. He knows that he's the only one who can stop her. The trick is, how to do it without fulfilling this prophecy that says whatever action he takes, not only is the Nightside doomed, but the rest of the world will soon follow.
