Book 2 in The City Trilogy, a gritty urban fantasy series for adults by the author also known as Darren Shan. Based in an unnamed city run by the enigmatic, all-powerful Cardinal, Hell’s Horizon is at heart a noirish murder mystery furnished with shady, near-mythic underworld characters. Animated by links to the City’s ancient Incan ancestors and filled with Shan’s trademark supernatural horror. The legion of fans of Darren Shan’s teenage horror won’t be disappointed. I also highly recommend the first book in The City Trilogy - The Procession of the Dead
