What if aborted children where brought back to life by witchcraft and hiding in the sewer system? When a sewer tunnel maintenance crew experiences horrifying events and is even attacked, the police sends a pair of investigators that have dealt with some unusual cases before. But even to DC Jerry Pardoe and DS Jamila Patel encountering very real supernatural forces is new terrain. At the same time, a deformed child is born by a woman who claims she couldn't have been pregnant, and another woman is attacked by a horrid human-faced spider-like creature. Step by step, the connection between these strange events is revealed, behind which stands a very powerful and ancient evil.
Despite the obvious ethical question raised and also ethnic conflicts addressed in the book, the basic idea behind the story was very unique and quite unsettling. Suspense was stalled a couple of times by some slow, lengthy, even repetitive chapters, but nowadays old-school-type books (both old ones and new) seem to have this effect on readers (me included, I have to admit with mixed feelings). On the other hand, a lot of detail was put into character-building, overall setting and creating a very creepy atmosphere, which made it easy to visualize the story in my imagination. On the whole, this book presented a fascinating read.
