Nightfall

This is the 1st book in the Jack Nightingale series by author Stephen Leather. Although I am a big fan of Stephen Leather I was a little apprehensive when I realised it had a supernatural angle. My normal genre is psychological thrillers but with my fondness for Stephen Leather's writing decided to give it a try anyway.This series focuses on ex-policeman, Jack Nightingale who left the force and became a private investigator after working as a negotiator and allegedly encouraging the death of an abusive father. Now working as a PI he receives a call from a Solicitor informing him that he has inherited a mansion from a man who turns out to be his father. A father he never knew and who killed himself when he was unable to reverse a deal he did with a demon, a deal that sold his son's soul.As you can see from my synopsis above not your usual crime thriller and certainly not the type of book I normally read but somehow it worked for me. Looking at this novels varied reviews it becomes obvious to me that you either love it or hate it. I loved it and intend to get round to the other books in the series soon.
