My name is John Taylor. I'm a PI for hire in the Nightside, the dark and corrupt city within the city of London. Where the sun never shines and where pleasure and horror are always on sale—for the right price. Not a nice place to visit or a nice place to live.

They might not all be acceptable in polite company, but they're my friends, nonetheless.

Oh, and a hellhound, one assumes.
