It’s supposed to be the happiest day of private eye John Taylor’s life. It’s a shame he’s on the run from his bride . . .
Everything is finally falling into place for John Taylor. He has a new job as Voice of the Authorities in the Nightside and he’s about to marry the love of his life, Suzie Shooter, the Nightside’s most formidable bounty hunter. This new life, and the responsibilities that go along with it, mean it’s time for Taylor to retire from the private detective business. But before he can say ‘I do!’ he has time for one last case.
But, as always, nothing in the Nightside is straightforward and his final investigation ends with a price on Taylor’s head.
Now the entire Nightside is against him, and his bride-to-be is after the bounty. Happily-ever-after is beginning to look like an unlikely ending for John Taylor.
The Bride Wore Black Leather is the twelfth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Nightside series by Simon R. Green.

Green's superlative twelfth Nightside novel ratchets up the stakes for series protagonist John Taylor in an intricate and action-filled plot that seamlessly blends crime and the supernatural . . . The pace never flags and the sardonic Chandleresque narration is perfectly suited to the Nightside's fantastical mean streets
Simon R. Green walks us through his most thoroughly developed setting and its vast assortment of strange, devious, and downright weird characters . . . Recommended
The Bride Wore Black Leather has everything I expect from a Nightside book. Taylor is the Sam Spade for the twenty-first century, willing to stare down an angel, a demon or a god. Nightside has the meanest of the mean streets, and John Taylor is right at home there. Sunnyside? Not bloody likely
There is still the classic Green breakneck pacing, the quirky character twists, the joys of name-drop references, but they're accompanied by a wonderful narrative sense of melancholy, as if Green hates parting with John as much as we do
Cross The X-Files with The Twilight Zone, add a pinch of The Outer Limits and a dash of Eerie, Indiana, and one might have a glimmer of an idea what the Nightside is like
So much fun it's practically irresistible
Outstanding
