  <default_description>WHAT SECRETS LIE SHROUDED IN DARKNESS?&lt;br&gt;Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings - not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands.&lt;br&gt;Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real -  but she could hardly deny what she'd seen - and touched.&lt;br&gt;The mystery man, Alban, was a gargoyle. One of the fabled  Old Races who had hidden their existence for centuries. Now he was a murder suspect, and he needed Margrit's help to take the heat off him and find the real killer. And as the dead pile up, it's a race against the sunrise to clear Alban's name and keep them both alive.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I found the recommendation for this series in Charles de Lint's book review column in Fantasy &amp; Science Fiction Magazine, and I'm really going to have to read that column more regularly now. I wasn't sure whether I should put this book on my &quot;vampires&quot; shelf, either, because it does have a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32693663">more...</a>]]></body>

I'd never read anything by Murphy, and many of her plot lines looked like a lot of fun, but after I started this one, I just couldn't get into her writing style. She's very descriptive, and in the first few minutes, I'd heard 5 di...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20306279">more...</a>]]></body>
