Since the tragic murder that turned his life upside down, former-detective Jim Griffen has had no intention of returning to the police force. But when a young detective appears on his doorstep, begging for help in a peculiar case, Jim is tempted to review his opinions on his former occupation. Before he can turn back, he finds himself sucked into a dreadful conspiracy, involving drug gangs, robotics corporations and death-obsessed religious fanatics, and must watch as his already unstable existence collapses into mayhem. Two months later, Sam Turner is starting his dream job as a missing persons detective; but things aren't always as simple as they appear. Talks of betrayal and corruption pass frequently between his bosses and co-workers, and his first case is to find a little girl who claims to be on the run from a monster. Sam doesn't believe in monsters of course... not until he finds himself firing bullets at one.While trails are pursued and secrets are uncovered, both Jim and Sam soon realise that there are things far worse than crime in Nightdrop. As unnatural, impossible things arise from its criminal underworld, what appears to be two ordinary cases must soon become a fight for the city itself.
