Poison City (Delphic Division 1.) 1 csillagozás

The name's Gideon Tau, but everyone just calls me London. I work for the Delphic Division, the occult investigative unit of the South African Police Service. My life revolves around two things – finding out who killed my daughter and imagining what I'm going to do to the bastard when I catch him.

I have two friends. The first is my boss, Armitage, a fifty-something DCI from Yorkshire who looks more like someone's mother than a cop. Don't let that fool you. The second is the dog, my magical spirit guide. He talks, he watches TV all day, and he's a mean drunk.

Life is pretty routine – I solve crimes, I search for my daughter's killer. Wash, rinse, repeat. Until the day I'm called out to the murder of a ramanga – a low-key vampire – basically, the tabloid journalist of the vampire world. It looks like an open and shut case.

– No, no. Nothing like that. You know that movie?
– Which one?
– The one about the incest. With the nazis. And the terrorists trying to take down the government.

– Not ringing any bells. Give me specifics.
– Come on, man. You know the one. The space nazis and the brother and sister? And the dad cuts off the kid's hand and he's all like, „N-o-o!”

I tuck the file to the bottom and move on to the next.
A report about Swaziland's ban on witches flying their broomsticks below 150 metres. I chuckle. That's not real. Witches didn't really fly broomsticks. Boil down the fat of children and coat themselves in it to fly, sure. But broomsticks? Nah.
