My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluable, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow I'm a Detective Constable and a trainee wizard, the first apprentice in fifty years, and my world has become somewhat more complicated: nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce between the warring god and goddess of the Thames, and digging up graves in Covent Garden ... and there's something festering at the heart of the city I love, a malicious vengeful spirit that takes ordinary Londoners and twists them into grotesque mannequins to act out its drama of violence and despair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and it's falling to me to bring order out of chaos - or die trying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoon Over Soho\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody and Soul. The song. That's what London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant first notices when he examines the corpse of Cyrus Wilkins, part-time jazz drummer and full-time accountant, who dropped dead of a heart attack while playing a gig at Soho's 606 Club. The notes of the old jazz standard are rising from the body - a sure sign that something about the man's death was not at all natural but instead supernatural.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody and soul - they're also what Peter will risk as he investigates a pattern of similar deaths in and around Soho. With the help of his superior officer, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, and the assistance of beautiful jazz aficionado Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter will uncover a deadly magical menace - one that leads right to his own doorstep and to the squandered promise of a young jazz musician: a talented trumpet player named Richard \"Lord\" Grant - otherwise known as Peter's dear old dad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhispers Under Ground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Grant is learning magic fast. And it's just as well - he's already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there's his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn't his fault, but still.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met's Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka 'The Folly'. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain's Last Wizard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroken Homes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mutilated body in Crawley. Another killer on the loose. The prime suspect is one Robert Weil - an associate of the twisted magician known as the Faceless Man? Or just a common garden serial killer?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore PC Peter Grant can get his head round the case, a town planner going under a tube train and a stolen grimoire are adding to his case-load. So far so London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut then Peter gets word of something very odd happening in Elephant and Castle, on an housing estate designed by a nutter, built by charlatans and inhabited by the truly desperate. Is there a connection? And if there is, why oh why did it have to be south of the River?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoxglove Summer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London, you can't take the London out of the copper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTravelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more, all the shops are closed by 4pm...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Hanging Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuspicious deaths are not usually the concern of PC Peter Grant or the Folly, even when they happen at an exclusive party in one of the most expensive apartment blocks in London. But Lady Ty's daughter was there, and Peter owes Lady Ty a favour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlunged into the alien world of the super-rich, where the basements are bigger than the house and dangerous, arcane items are bought and sold on the open market, a sensible young copper would keep his head down and his nose clean. But this is Peter Grant we're talking about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe's been given an unparalleled opportunity to alienate old friends and create new enemies at the point where the world of magic and that of privilege intersect. Assuming he survives the week . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLies Sleeping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn London, the past is never dead.

Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring Chorley to justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that Chorley, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long-term plan. A plan that has its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. And, far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFalse Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Grant is facing fatherhood, and an uncertain future, with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Leaving his old police life behind, he takes a job with Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's new London start up: the Serious Cybernetics Corporation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is. Compared to his last job, Peter thinks it should be a doddle. But magic is not finished with the Met's first trainee wizard in fifty years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause a secret is hiding somewhere in the building. A technology that stretches back to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, and forward to the future of artificial intelligence.

This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, police constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant, is off in the sticks, chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAided only by her new friend Simon, her knowledge that magic is real, and a posse of talking foxes that think they're spies, Abigail must venture into the wilds of Hampstead to discover who is luring the teenagers and more importantly - why?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Furthest Station (A Rivers Of London Novella)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThere’s something going bump on the Metropolitan line and Sergeant Jaget Kumar knows exactly who to call.

Traumatised travellers have been reporting strange encounters on their morning commute, with strangely dressed people trying to deliver an urgent message. Stranger still, despite calling the police themselves, within a few minutes the commuters have already forgotten the encounter – making the follow up interviews rather difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo with a little help from Abigail and Toby the ghost hunting dog, Peter and Jaget are heading out on a ghost hunting expedition.

But the rot is still spreading, literally and with the suspect list extending to people born before Frederick the Great solving the case may mean unearthing the city’s secret magical history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e. . . so long as that history doesn’t kill them first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter's Gifts (A Rivers Of London Novella)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTHEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen ex-FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an ‘X-Ray Sierra India’ incident, the operator doesn’t understand.
