Book description
Jack Nightingale - lives in the shadows, fights in the dark.
Ex-cop turned private eye Jack Nightingale is used to dealing with
tricky situations. He's faced down the powers of hell a couple of times,
too. In this new short story, he's called in to help a policeman who's
lying at death's door. The doctors can't work out what's wrong. But the
dying man's colleagues swear blind that he was cursed by a gypsy during
the Dale Farm clearance. And Nightingale could be his only hope.
Jack Nightingale is the hero of Stephen Leather's supernatural detective
trilogy which began with NIGHTFALL, continued with MIDNIGHT, and reaches
a devastating conclusion in NIGHTMARE. 'A creeping sense of evil'
