I'd forgotten about this book until I was digging deeper through my bookshelf the other day.
Hawk & Fisher are guards in the city of Haven, patrolling the North Side, which happens to be the nastiest and dirtiest part of an already nasty and dirty town.
I'm not sure if these were originally stand alone novels, but there are three in this book. They all follow on nicely from one another (and likewise from the first collection in this series).
Simon Green has a good eye for characters, and there are plenty in this book. There is also a good sense of humour running through them, without being as in your face as Terry Pratchett (more the throwaway kind of lines that James Bond comes out with sometimes).

Plenty of action, with Hawk & Fisher throwing themselves in the way in the line of duty, not always willingly.

Would appeal to someone who wants a low/mid level fantasy with interesting people, places and ideas.
