  • ""Countless dead lie in the miles of catacombs beneath its streets. And in the necroflux generators that draw out the psychic energies from their bones to power the city, thousands more pay for a life there. But even a city built on death, a city of living gargoyles, a city haunted by wraiths, has people who make a living from crime. Lieutenant Donal Riordan is a good cop. Good enough to find himself picked out for a job protecting a visiting Opera Diva. Not good enough to keep her alive. And now the bones are speaking to Donal. They know him now. He can feel them. He can taste their song. Donal needs to find out who wanted the Diva dead. More importantly he needs to find out who wants him dead."--Jacket."
  • "Gritty futuristic noir blends with Gothic fantasy to create a seductive world of death and desire. Here an honest cop must face his own darkest impulses as he hunts a killer through a city of the dead. There have been four celebrity murders already. Now Lieutenant Donal Riordan must make sure that Tristopolis isn't the scene of a fifth. But the necropolis's vast underground network is already mobilizing for a battle of epic proportions against a powerful death cult whose dark influence reaches up to the highest echelons of the elite. Riordan's only hope is an unlikely alliance with a "para-live" female agent as they hunt - both above ground and below - among gargoyles and zombies, spirit slaves and assassins, for the killers even the dead have reason to fear."@en
  • "Hailed as "the first important new SF writer of the 21st century," John Meaney delivers a darkly luminous new thriller that blends futuristic noir with gothic fantasy. Here, in a city of the dead where desire is very much alive and murder a pleasure for connoisseurs, an honest cop must face his own darkest impulses just to have a prayer. There have been four victims already. Famed for their beauty and one-of-a-kind artistic gifts, they were murdered in the most shocking ways imaginable and their corpses stolen. Now the famed diva Maria daLivnova is arriving in Tristopolis'a city literally powered by the massive necroflux generators that process the dead'and it is up to Lieutenant Donal Riordan to make sure she ends her limited engagement alive. But Riordan isn't the only one watching deLivnova. For the Diva is being followed by two other secret "protectors": Commander Laura Steele'who's made a more or less successful transition to para-life'and her partner, the invisible free-wraith Xalia. They are part of the necropolis's vast underground network and they've mobilized against an unseen enemy for a battle of epic proportions. For a perverse death cult with powerful members in every stratum of society has learned how to distill from the bones of their sacrificed victims the ultimate thrill'a nectar that, once tasted, is impossible to resist. And the more precious the life, the greater the pleasure it is to take it away. Soon Riordan will find himself in the unlikeliest of alliances as he journeys through a world of corruption'both aboveground and below'among gargoyles and zombies, spirit slaves and assassins, science and sorcery, in search of an enemy even the dead have every reason to fear'. From the Hardcover edition."@en
  • "Set in an extraordinary alternate universe powered by the psychic energy of the dead, Lieutenant Donal O'Riordan is working on a bizarre investigation that'll take him into the underbelly of the strange city he lives in - a city where gargoyles talk, wraiths work in slavery and the undead walk the streets."@en
