About this audiobook
When crime skulks the poorest streets, it’s up to an unlikely hero to bring light to the darkness. But there’s more to this story than just cops and robbers, and there are shadows upon shadows in the darkest corners of the city.
When a notorious crime lord’s lawyer is beheaded by hired killers, it’s clear someone’s sending a message. But Stavros Kefali didn’t get to be top dog by scaring easily, so he sends his go-to guy, Darren Flaxstone, to learn who’s behind it.
A pair of gritty detectives, Slade and Slaughter, are also on the case, and one of them has a secret source for street info: the Lightning Girl, a vigilante fighting crime her way in the city’s poorest neighborhood.
Meanwhile, reporter Rebecca Hutchcraft is determined to unmask the Lightning Girl, while rival gangster Harrison Marley thinks this might be the time to take on Kefali’s organization.
Hovering over all this is the upcoming Festival, Kefali’s super-secret once-in-a-lifetime event for the city’s elite, where all questions may be answered…if anyone survives to ask them.
While the City Never Sleeps is the noir superhero thriller laced with myth and mystery from Alex Bledsoe, author of the Tufa novels and Dandelion.
