Rivers of London

My name is Peter Grant, and I was on probation as a constable in this mighty army of justice that law-abiding people call the London Police.

My story began when I tried to interrogate a witness to a crime who was already dead… That caught the attention of Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last magician in England.

Now I’m a detective constable and an apprentice wizard—the first one in the last fifty years.

My world has become much more complicated: vampires have their nests in the suburbs, the gods and the gods of the Thames are at war, and at the heart of the city that I love so much, something is rotting… A malicious vengeful spirit has taken hold of ordinary Londoners and turns them into puppets to stage a drama of violence and despair. The ghost of a riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and I will have to restore order in this chaos— or die trying to do it.
