A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels. This is the city of the people who have fallen between the cracks.

Neverwhere is home to Door, the mysterious girl Richard helped in the London Above. Here in Neverwhere, Door is a powerful noblewoman who has vowed to find the evil agent of her family's slaughter and thwart the destruction of this strange underworld kingdom. If Richard is ever to return to his former life and home, he must join Lady Door's quest to save her world--and may well die trying.</p><p>Neil Gaiman is the #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of more than twenty books, and is the recipient of numerous literary honors. Originally from England, he now lives in America.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"For those who have never been to Neverwhere, it's time to go.
