Mind the gap . . .
Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre.
There's a girl named Door, an angel called Islington, an earl who holds court on the carriage of a Tube train, a beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining . . .
