    About this ebook

    Mein Name ist John Taylor. Ich bin Privatdetektiv, aber eigentlich finde ich Dinge. Ich arbeite in der Nightside, der Stadt innerhalb Londons, wo nie die Sonne aufgeht und wo Menschen und Nichtmenschen gleichermaßen Spaß haben können, vorausgesetzt, sie sind bereit, den Preis in der vom Anbieter geforderten Währung zu zahlen. Nach dem Krieg, der die Nightside beinahe ausgelöscht hätte, wartet ein Machtvakuum darauf, gefüllt zu werden - und manche finden, ich sollte die Sache in die Hand nehmen. Ich sehe das anders. Genau wie der Unsterbliche, den man den Greifen nennt. Er ist unermeßlich reich und hat eigene Vorstellungen davon, wer das Sagen haben sollte. Doch als seine Enkelin - und designierte Erbin - entführt wird, beauftragt er mich, sie zu finden. Aber jemand - oder etwas - blockiert meine spezielle Gabe. Diesmal werde ich also auf die harte Tour vorgehen müssen - und zwar schnell, sonst muß sich der Greif eine neue Erbin suchen ...

      Enjoyable book in a long-running series greatly enhanced by the narration of of Marc Vietor.
      In this book, John Taylor is asked to look into the kidnapping of the granddaughter of an immortal, ruthless businessman in the Nightside.
      Susie is not involved in this book and John is left on his own to investigate a very mixed up, nasty, confused family. without the benefit of his talent, which seems to be shut down every time he attempts to use it.
      The usual black humour mixed in with the mystery.
    • 3/5
      I thought this was the least captivating of his nightside series so far.
    • 4/5
      This is the first book after the Lilith War - and I liked it. It goes back to the beginning of the series - where John Taylor does a simple case, kills a lot of people, and solves the problem in a big, messy way.Its a good book - not great. The motivation for John Taylor is missing - and the author is quite sure what to do next. I like this universe - But- you would think that there would only be so many powerful types. It seems like John always has old friends that have never been mentioned before to call upon. These books are formulaic, and there really isn't any surprises. But, it is a fun read and perfect for a dreary day reading.
    • 4/5
      This installment was a bit slow compared to the previous. I had no clue where Green would take the series after the defeat of Lilith.
      I was honestly under the impression that the series would be done after that. I really am glad that the story has continued.
      In this one John Taylor takes a case from the Griffin, the Nightside's immortal family to find the kidnapped family heir. It was interesting to read the steps of PI work. It was hysterically humorous to read about Dead Boy again; he makes excellent points of life and death. On to the next one now.
      Cheers Pretties!

      This is a review of the audiobook version (only time I have to myself is the car on the way to work!):After the previous three installments roped together the wider story and tied off most of the loose ends it was interesting to see where Simon R. Green would take the Nightside next. Well, actually, life pretty much continues as normal. The authorities are dead but Walker still runs the show. John isn't king but still a P.I. looking for his next job. And where many of the old Gods and Powers died during the war with Lilith, new ones are springing up to replace them.John is contacted by The Griffin, an immortal whose granddaughter has been kidnapped. From there the story goes back to the kind of thing it was in the earlier books, simply a P.I. on a case and meeting a bunch of odd characters on the way. Except, after the massive battles, trips through time and destruction of half the Nightside this seems a bit of a step backwards. I didn't find the long interviews with the abhorrent members of the Griffin family particularly thrilling and never felt that impending sense of doom I've grown used to whilst in the Nightside. Not really what I was expecting after 'Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth'.As always, Green produces a cracking conclusion to the story involving crucifixion and a Duke of Hell which almost makes up for the dull and predictable plodding in the middle. I kinda wish he'd starting down that route earlier in the story (a case of 'paths not taken'? chuckle chuckle).The narrator Marc Vietor, who I thought was excellent in all the previous recordings sounds sounds a bit listless from about the halfway mark, almost as though his throat had given up. Perhaps he wasn't impressed by this one either?
    • 2/5
      Didn't go quite where I expected, but in general a standard Nightside epic-disaster-impossible-situation adventure.
    • 4/5
      With the end of the Nightside looming close, it was time to take stock of everything that I've come to love about this dark and gritty world that never ceases to amaze and entertain. As I was preparing to press the button on my online purchase of the thirteenth and final book in the series, The Bride Wore Black Leather, I couldn't help but reflect on my unique and rather long-time relationship with the Nightside. I first picked up book 3, Nightingale's Lament, back in high school because I was in love with the mesmerizing cover. Then, of course, I realized that I had missed a few books, so I backtracked (which did help a little bit in the back story area). From then on, I was hooked to the quirky and off-the-beaten-path setting in the Nightside.Then, after a while, I started to get a little bored of the Nightside. Things had started to slow down (I know, hard to believe in a place where it's always 3 a.m.), and I just wasn't as engaged in the characters. So, after Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth, I turned my back on the Nightside. That was probably the worst thing to do, especially considered that I came back a few years later.I picked up with The Unnatural Inquirer, which was rather timely since the issues with News of the World were going on. Then, I was back and I wasn't about to leave again. I got caught up with the series and now find myself at the brink of the end, I realized that I had somehow missed Hell to Pay somewhere in there.Thus, I am back in the Nightside with Hell to Pay. The Lilith War is over, but what's left in the wake of the war is a power vacuum Enter Jeremiah Griffin, leader of one of the last remaining immortal human families in the Nightside. And he's eager to take control. That is, until his granddaughter disappears. So, he recruits John Taylor, everyone's favorite private eye, to find her.Thus, John sets off on another wild adventure in the Nightside, complete with wild bars, crazy semi-immortals, and all kinds of the typical zany characters fans have come to love about the Nightside. Complete with Suzie Shotgun, Walker and a slew of new characters in tow.I wouldn't say that Hell to Pay is the most memorable Nightside novel, but it's a good edition to the collection.
    • 3/5
      So far, my least favorite of the series. I called it from the beginning. Still love the Nightside, but hope that the next book is better.
    • 4/5
      Back to honest detective work for John Taylor. The only problem I have with these books is how fast I go through them.
    • 3/5
      This is the 7th book in Simon Green's Nightside series. To me this book seemed to be very much a transition book. Being that the 6th book capped off the over arcing storyline, it is not surprising that this book is a bit weak. I still enjoyed reading it; although it just wasn't nearly as good as Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth was.In the aftermath of Lilith's War the Nightside needs a new leader and with John Taylor stepping aside; Walker is trying to fill that space. If there is anyone who can contend with Walker it is the Griffin family. A very powerful and immortal family the Griffin family is possibly in a position to rule the Nightside. Unfortunately when Griffin's granddaughter disappears John Taylor is called in to find her. Someone very powerful doesn't want her found and is able to shut down John's gift in an effort to stop him. Looks like John's going to have to solve this case the old-fashioned way.While this was still an enjoyable book; it was probably the weakest one in the series. The action scenes were few and far between and somewhat blase'. The characters were weak. It was good to see Dead Boy some more but he wasn't there for much of the book. The main powers of the Nightside were notable in their absence. Seriously this is the most boring of the Nightside books. It truly seems to be a transition novel, with everyone picking up the pieces of the Nightside after the Lilith War. Unfortunately it seems like Green doesn't know exactly to do with everyone either.I have high hopes for the next book but if it is as dull and uninspired as this one, I might have to rethink reading this series.

      This seventh book in the series returns us to the fantastically awful world of the Nightside, a hidden world within London where it is always 3am. Our hero, John Taylor, is hired to locate the kidnapped daughter of the Nightside's most powerful, and treacherous, family. Stunningly creative, the Nightside grabs the imagination and keeps you coming back for more in a noir detective series that really is all about the night. Since the mystery of John's mother has been solved, some of the tension from the larger story arc is missing, but the charm of the Nightside and the detective story remains.

      The Lilith war is over, and the nightside is rebuilding. The Authorities are gone, but Walker is still enforcing the rules, although no one knows whose power is backing his orders. Taylor is still the toughest PI in the Nightside, although with an even more frightening reputation. He has been contacted by the Griffin, a very powerfull, immortal businessman, who has lost her grandaughter.Taylors famous 'gift' for finding is being blocked, so he cand just Find her, he has to find her through more mundane methods. These bring him into contact with a number of old acquaintances and to places familiar from the other books in the series.Despite being the seven'th book in the series about John Taylor, PI, this book does in no way seem repetitive. Great and detailed settings. The story is fresh asd fastpaced, and the characters and their interactions are familiar but never dull. The story is mostly background for a mosaic of fantastical and original people and places.

      WHERE IS SUZIE??? This book while as entertaining lacked something the rest were always full of, John's actual life. The only friend of his we really saw was Dead Boy...and they only give me Suzie in the epilogue. Tsk tsk. But I still look forward to the next one. And they are still oddly reminicent of Harry Dresden if Harry well killed more...cared less....wore white instead of black and actually didn't get hurt nearly as much. John has the good life...and the girl. LEARN FROM HIM HARRY. Though he lacks a Bob...and I miss his young little assistant girl..she pwned.
