Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent (Fly by Night) find themselves in Toll, a curious town with separate societies--one diurnal, the other nocturnal. Hardinge's labyrinthine plotting includes villains old and new, kidnappings, double-crosses, and numerous reversals of fortune. Leisurely pacing allows the author to plant various clues and red herrings, flesh out characters, and bring the setting vividly to life.
