In this darkly luminous thriller, John Meaney blends gritty futuristic noir with gothic fantasy to create a stunningly seductive world of death and desire. Here an honest cop must face his own darkest impulses as he hunts a perverse killer through a city of the dead.
There have been four celebrity murders already. Now it's up to Lieutenant Donal Riordan to make sure that Tristopolis isn't the scene of a fifth. But the necropolis's vast underground network is already mobilizing for a battle of epic proportions against a powerful death cult whose dark influence reaches up to the highest echelons of Tristopolis's elite. Riordan's only hope is an unlikely alliance with a para-live female agent as they hunt--both aboveground and below--among gargoyles and zombies, spirit slaves and assassins, for the killers even the dead have reason to fear.

Industry Reviews

"A remarkable book featuring a unique dark Fantasy/SF world and great writing. The police procedural plot, creepy technology, and seamless, fascinating world make it a real page turner, full of great twists and details. Bone Song has really got it all: fantasy, horror, science fiction, cops, crime--even a love story and a dose of dark, dry humor. A great read and I can't wait for the next one."--Kat Richardson, author of Greywalker

"John Meaney brings a city of death to richly textured life. In an amazing blend of noir mystery and dark fantasy, Meaney doesn't just build a world-he creates an eerie culture that you can truly visualize and feel. Bone Song is a thrilling and suspenseful beginning to a great new series."--Mark Del Franco, author of Unshapely Things "Brilliantly fuses SF with elements of gothic fantasy." --SFX

"Crisply written and vividly portrayed."--Guardian, UK

"Grittiness is a word that all too often is thrown around, but I will apply it to the street-level, no nonsense Riordan. Fast paced, very entertaining and out of the ordinary...both haunting and engaging."--SFFWorld.com

"[A] fanciful, macabre romp... straddles the line between gothic fantasy and detective fiction."--Booklist
