Cop. Drunkard. Low-grade magic user. My name is Gideon Tau, but most people just call me London. (Because that's where I'm from. Get it? Hilarious.). I work for the Delphic Division, the occult investigative unit of the South African Police Service. Three years ago, someone killed my daughter. I sacrificed everything (the human race included) to learn his name - and then had to allow that knowledge to be erased from my mind in order to save the world I'd doomed. Fantastic. Now I have to start over from scratch, and who do I have to help me find my daughter's killer? The reanimated corpse of my boss, a low-rent P.I. who's heavily into conspiracy theories, and my alcoholic, foul-mouthed demonic sidekick dog. Our journey will take us from Durban, South Africa to London, England, where we'll have to contend with Fae gangs fighting for territory, the murder-suicide of two Delphic agents and the seven deadly sins.

I really enjoyed this story, which picks up about 3 years after book one. I think Gideon Tau aka London and 'dog' are great characters and it was an interesting continuation to the story. I love the banter between London and dog as well as from London's boss Armitage. This story also introduces Cal Winters who was also an interesting character.
In this story London continues to search for his daughter Cally, which leads him on a number of leads from Cape Town to London (the place, not the character!!) and eventually to Faerie.
I loved the pace of this book and the twists and turns that follow. I don't want to give any spoliers but there is a particual scene in chapter 19 that I did not see coming which I thought was brilliant.
As for the ending. WOW! It was great and I did not see that coming and had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it was going to end. I can't say more than that otherwise it will be spoliers.
This book is amongst one of the best ones I've enjoyed in a while and reminds me why Urban Fantasy is my favourite genre. (
