Night in the City brings to life the secret world of city dwellers who work through the night. Through eight different characters, Julie Downing takes you on a journey from waking up just before bedtime to the morning rush hour.

Each character's story is woven together with meticulous design, revealing the hidden rhythms of urban life. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who keep our cities running, even when we're fast asleep.
