I liked "Nightside" too, with Silk as Father Brown and Auk as his
Flambeau. Have you seen the article "Five Steps Towards Briah", which
continues to track the genres of the next two books
(http://artsweb.bham.ac.uk/jlaidlow/ultan/briah.htm/poti)? The next two
books (for me) are a political thriller and a war story. The article has
a slightly different take.
