From a strong opening, Black immediately throws us into a world where magic is real and practitioners steal shadows for nefarious purposes.

The Book of Night tells the story of recovering thief, Charlie, who is drawn to trouble like a moth to a wool jumper.

Our protagonist has quit the stealing business and tends bar in a dive joint cum brothel cum underground shadow alteration parlour when, one night walking home after her car breaks down, she sees a murdered man with a shredded shadow and is dragged back into a life she tried hard to leave behind.
