I've seen Stephen Leather's name all over the shelves - both physical and virtual - so I was intrigued to see what Nightfall would be all about. It wasn't what I expected at all as it turned out to be a thriller which dabbles in the occult - or at least all the main characters do. Retired hostage negotiator Jack Nightingale is now a private detective. One day he gets a call from a lawyer and discovers that he has inherited a mansion full of occult books from the biological father he never knew he had (who, incidentally had sold Jack's soul to minor devil Prosperpine at birth - and she's planning to collect in a couple of weeks on Jack's 33rd birthday). I found it difficult to get into this world and therefore didn't really enjoy the book. Not recommended.
