A Hard Day's Knight
Return to the “macabre and thoroughly entertaining world” of the Nightside.
John Taylor is a P.I. with a special talent for finding lost things in the dark and secret center of London known as the Nightside. He’s also the reluctant owner of a very special — and dangerous — weapon. Excalibur, the legendary sword. To find out why he was chosen to wield it, John must consult the Last Defenders of Camelot, a group of knights who dwell in a place that some find more frightening than the Nightside.
London Proper. It’s been years since John’s been back — and there are good reasons for that.

Simon R. Green
Simon R. Green writes like someone with one foot in the shadows and the other in a cosmic madhouse—blending noir, fantasy, and science fiction in ways that defy neat categorization. Whether he's guiding readers through the eerie alleyways of the Nightside, a city where it’s always 3 a.m. and miracles cost extra, or unleashing chaos in the multiverse with the Deathstalker saga, Green never settles for the expected. His stories are darkly funny, unabashedly strange, and full of sharp edges hidden beneath layers of magic and menace.
