Bone Song is a 2007 Urban Fantasy/Fantastic Noir novel by the British writer John Meaney.It is set in Tristopolis, a City Noir inhabited by humans alongside with mages, witches, zombies, wraiths, talking gargoyles, Cat Folk, and other fantastic creatures. Death plays a prominent role in the culture of Tristopolis: the citizens invoke the names of Thanatos and Hades instead of "God", skulls are a decorative element in architecture, and the city's primary source of energy is necroflux, derived from the bones of the dead.The protagonist, police Lieutenant Donal Riordan, is given the task to protect the opera singer Maria daLivnova against assassination. After he fails his mission and ends up being brainwashed, he is rescued by the beautiful Commander Laura Steele, who reveals to him that he was set up as a pawn by his higher-ups, and that Maria's murder was organized by the Black Circle, a large-scale conspiracy involving politicians and high-ranking members of the Tristopolis society, which targets gifted artists to traffic their bones. Riordan joins Laura's task force to put an end to the Black Circle's nefarious activities; at the same time, he falls in love with her, and they start a passionate romance. Donal's love for Laura is undeterred even when he learns that she is a zombie...The novel received praise for its inventive Gothic Noir setting, drawing comparisons with Edgar Allan Poe, Tim Burton, and movies Se7en and Dark City.It was the first book in the Tristopolis series, followed by Dark Blood (2009), Tristopolis Requiem (2018), Tristopolis Howling (2020), Tristopolis Revenge (2021), as well as a short story collection Two for Tristopolis (2019) and a short story Dragnet In Tristopolis: an Adam Obsidian short story (2023).
