Synopsis from Amazon
Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre. There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining...And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city.

It was an excellent read, if rather gory in parts. Very different. I loved the play on words for the underground stations.

Offered on a UK relay.

Arrived today with a *gorgous* postcard and bookmark! Thank you very much, nyassa :o) I've RES this one as DH would like to read it before me.
