A Walk on the Nightside by Simon R. Green. I picked this out of the library. I hadn't heard of the Nightside series, but so far I find the book fascinating.
There are many similarities to the movie Constantine, but that was based on the comic book Hellblazer. The Nightside novels haven't been made into a movie yet, but if they were it would be much more interesting than Constantine. The series explores a mystical underside of London. The style is pure Raymond Chandler with a lot of H.P. Lovecraft thrown in. Apparently, occult detectives are now in, considering the release of The Dresden Files, on the Sci-Fi channel. Maybe someone should do what NBC did back in the 70's and have multiple occult detective shows in a single series. Fantasy Detective novels could include the Garret P.I. series by Glen Cook, the Hawk and Fisher series by Simon Green, and possibly parts of Discworld by Terry Pratchett. The good news is you could use some of the same sets and extras. Quote:
