Well,there was a midnight riot at the end.
I enjoyed this book on so many levels.
- The strong central character - it's tough enough being a black cop, and then they give you the macabre beat; the only time anyone is glad to see you is when they want to hand you a steaming pile of ...
- The police procedural / magic aspect - Lord Darcy with IT
- The river gods mingling with the above ground society
The main thing I didn't like was the riot at the end. I could go along with the magic and river gods bit, but no bureaucratic career would ever have survived that riot - just not believable at all
