Private investigator John Taylor returns in the 12th novel (after 2010's The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny) of the Nightside, "the dark, secret, brooding heart of London." Having killed the former Walker, the voice of the Authorities, Taylor's now the closet thing the Nightside has to a leader. When the sword Excalibur shows up in the mail, he must return to London Proper to consult with the descendants of the Knights of the Round Table. The blood runs red (and golden) as he teams up with King Arthur and tangles with Merlin, elven royalty, traitor knights, sons of the devil, the Lady of the Lake, and various creatively named denizens of the Nightside. Taylor's irrepressible sarcasm and a twisted take on quotidian scenes compensate for a few too many solemn, self-important pronouncements and evil-overlord lectures. (Jan.)

This is Greenβs most recent novel of the Nightside, a hidden part of London populated by creatures who never see the light of day. John Taylor is a Nightside PI who specializes in finding things. But something has just found him: Excalibur, the sword of King Arthur himself. Since the sword is practically sentient and turns up only when thereβs a big job to be done, what does it want with Taylor? Taylor and Shotgun Suzie, his comrade-inβarms, hardly have time to find out between disarming suicide bombers and trying to keep some order on the Nightside (John killed the previous boss with that responsibility). With plenty of action packed in from London to Glastonbury, fun characters, and outrageous villains, A Hard Dayβs Knight should definitely please fantasy action fans. --Frieda Murray
