nder the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of
.
A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black v
elvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than
he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him
out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily fa
miliar and yet utterly bizarre.
There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islin
gton, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a laby
rinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining...And Richard, who only wants t
o go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his
native city.
