They are in fact hiding in abject fear behind locked doors – they do exist but they are not allowed to. The citizens of Toll do not cease to exist at dusk or dawn. By day, the city is a paradise of well-behaved citizens who cease to exist at dusk, when the villainous citizens of Toll-by-Night start their existence. Unfortunately for them, Toll has many rules and they are given only three days to hustle the money – if they can’t find money to leave at the end of those three days, Mosca will be sent to the mysteriously dangerous Toll-by-Night.īecause you see, Toll is a town divided. Visitors may neither enter nor leave Toll without paying a price and whilst Mosca and Clent manage to get money for their entry toll, they still need to find a way to pay for their way out. And where Prominent Citizens are involved, a Reward must surely follow.
Their chosen destination for the time being is a place called Toll – not only because this is a place strategically situated this side of a river they need to cross but also because they come by a Dastardly Plot that might involve some of its most Prominent Citizens. Unfortunately for the three amigos, Clent’s past shenanigans (lies!cons!theft!) prevent them from going anywhere near any of the towns nearby. Twilight Robbery/Fly Trap, the sequel to the excellent Fly By Night is a Shiny Beacon of Hope in the middle of a rather dreary week here at The Book Smugglers’ HQ.Ī few months after leaving Mandelion, Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent (as well as the murderous Goose Saracen) are on the run again. Why did I read this book: Last week I read, reviewed and LOVED Fly By Night and I just had to read the sequel straight away! Stand alone or series: Book two in the Fly By Night series. But as past deeds catch up with them and old enemies appear, it looks as if this time there’s no way out … Wherever there’s a plot, there’s sure to be treachery, and wherever there’s treachery, there’s sure to be trouble – and where there’s trouble, Clent, Mosca and the web-footed apocalypse Saracen can’t be far behind.
By day, the city is well-mannered and orderly by night, it’s the haunt of rogues and villains. Escaping disaster by the skin of their teeth, they find refuge in Toll, the strange gateway town where visitors may neither enter nor leave without paying a price. Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent are in trouble again. Publisher: Harper Collins US / Macmillan UK
