Continue up the High Street and you will see Northgate ahead of you, the only one of the five gateways into the town which still exists.

But if I’m being completely honest (And you want me to be, right?), it was the noir crime plot line which I adored even more than the mysterious Warden. The constant clues, frantic search for answers, struggles with dirty guardsmen, devious secret police, and corrupt nobles, and the desperate desire to uncover the true murderers mesmerizing me. No doubt, much of this infatuation was due to my unfamiliarity with noir crime fiction, so this type of story line was very fresh and unique for me personally (though I know it won’t be for others out there); the tropes Polansky undoubtedly utilized from this other genre not turn offs but turn ons for me personally. Be that as it may, Low Town was the exact addictive brew I desired. With this in mind, I'm a little torn about how Low Town answers this third question. On the one hand, the genre fusion of fantasy and noir is superb, and certainly uncommon enough to warrant being considered fresh. But in my mind, genre isn't enough. The story that was told, regardless of setting, follows the tropes of just about any other noir story almost to the T, including the plot. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that nearly every prediction I made was accurate, and some of my guesses were made very early on. Does a story always need to subvert one's expectations? Of course not. But the highest rating should be reserved for pieces that are truly transcendent; something that innovates and pushes boundaries in new directions.His contribution to Shropshire’s early industrial infrastructure was so great that a whole new town was named after him in 1968 (Telford). The current St Mary’s was constructed over a Medieval church and is a Grade II* monument. Of all the contemporary genres, noir - and in general crime fiction - is probably the rarest to find out of its field, and that is because, although famous enough, it is much harder to adapt in medieval-type than modern times and in a story that will manage to hold the interest, making it one of the least developed among the dominant genres of epic/high fantasy. Quite brilliant...[ Low Town ] is as good a debut as I've read in along time. [It] has it all - and as the name suggests, it is sharp, steely and viciously bloody. Highly recommended." --John Berlyne, SF Revu The space underneath the Town Hall was for the public wool market and still hosts Bridgnorth’s weekly Charter Market.

Completed in 1795, this Renaissance Revival church was designed by Thomas Telford, a Scottish architect and civil engineer. This is the story of an ex-elite "law enforcement officer" who is now a drug addicted drug dealer who is the "criminal overlord" of Low Town. He's called the Warden. The city is protected by a older wizard who lives (for some reason) in Low Town...he wants to care for the people....

The story? Good solid detective noir stuff. Someone is murdering children in the Warden’s section of town, Low Town, the dregs, basically, and he enlists to stop it. Why he does so is only hinted at. His story is that he’s an ex-cop and was relieved from duty for some nebulous reason. There also seems to be some loss in his life associated with a young girl that particularly hits home for him enough that he interrupts his usual business of pushing drugs. Much of the old Low Town is now overlooked by modern houses, flats and apartments, and has become a fashionable area in which to live, as well as being a popular venue for families who visit the restaurants, shops and attractions which now line the riverside and Fish Quay areas. The Strait Razor Cure, το πρώτο βιβλίο της τριλογίας Low Town, ο Daniel Polansky κάνει το ντεμπούτο παίρνοντας αυτά τα στοιχεία - παρακινημένος από αυτά που όλοι οι άλλοι συγγραφείς έφεραν στο τραπέζι - αλλά με μια ανατροπή, γράφοντας μια ιστορία που βλέπεις συχνότερα σε αστικά σύγχρονες παρά μεσαιωνικού τύπου εποχές· μια περιπέτεια που μας βουτά βαθιά μέσα σε μια βρώμικη, ανήθικη πόλη και μια μυστηριώδης υπόθεση δολοφονιών, συνδυάζοντας το αστυνομικό νουάρ με την φαντασία. The novel is very successful in its world-building. The place is even more interesting and claustrophobic than the characters, and this is pretty much a character-driven tale where no one is quite good enough. I mean, how heroic is it going to be when a main character is a drug pusher?
