Book description
There's a part of the city that no one much goes to, a collection of
rundown old houses and gloomy streets. No one stays there long, and no
one can explain why - something's not quite right there.
Now the Council is renovating the district, and a new company is
overseeing the work. There will be street parties and events to show
off the newly gentrified neighbourhood: clowns and face-painters for
the kids, magicians for the adults - the street entertainers of
Cardiff, out in force.
None of this is Torchwood's problem. Until Toshiko recognises the
sponsor of the street parties: Bilis Manger.
Now there is something for Torchwood to investigate. But Captain
Jack Harkness has never been able to get into the area; it makes him
physically ill to go near it. Without Jack's help, Torchwood must face
the darker side of urban Cardiff alone...
Featuring Captain Jack Harkness as played by John Barrowman, with
Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones as played by
Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoki Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd, in the hit
series created by Russell T Davies for BBC Television.
