Synopses

Rivers of London

Probationary constable Peter Grant’s routine police work shifts when a murder inquiry leads him to take a witness statement from someone who is dead. The encounter brings him to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, described as the last wizard in England, and Peter becomes a trainee wizard while continuing his work in the Metropolitan Police.

As London’s supernatural tensions surface, he faces threats ranging from vampires to volatile forces tied to the Thames, alongside a malicious spirit twisting ordinary lives into violence. Suitable for adult readers who enjoy crime fiction with a supernatural edge.

Moon Over Soho

When a man dies during a Soho jazz gig, Peter notices something impossible: music rising from the body, suggesting a supernatural cause. His investigation uncovers a pattern of similar deaths in and around Soho.

Working with DCI Thomas Nightingale and with help from jazz aficionado Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter follows a trail that reaches uncomfortably close to home. Suitable for adult readers interested in police procedurals with magic woven into modern London.

Whispers Under Ground

Peter’s magical training accelerates, but his police career remains complicated by the realities of working in a tiny, unofficial unit. Personal pressures mount as well, with the consequences of past relationships still close to the surface.

When something disturbing begins in the tunnels of the London Underground, the case draws in the Folly and pushes Peter into a new kind of danger beneath the city. Suitable for adult readers drawn to London-set mysteries with supernatural elements.

Broken Homes

A mutilated body in Crawley points to a killer, with suspicion falling on Robert Weil, linked to the twisted magician known as the Faceless Man. As the investigation expands, further incidents complicate Peter’s workload, including a stolen grimoire.

Strange reports from Elephant and Castle raise the question of whether these events connect, pulling Peter south of the river into an unsettling situation. Suitable for adult readers who like crime investigations threaded with the occult.

Foxglove Summer

Peter is taken out of London to a village in Herefordshire, where local police are reluctant to acknowledge a supernatural aspect to the disappearance of children. Travelling with Beverley Brook, he finds himself dealing with both local officers and local gods.

It is a shift in setting that tests his instincts beyond the capital. Suitable for adult readers following the series and looking for a case beyond London.

The Hanging Tree

Suspicious deaths at an exclusive party would not usually fall to Peter or the Folly, but a personal obligation draws him in. The investigation takes him into the world of extreme wealth, where dangerous arcane items are openly traded.

With old relationships strained and new enemies forming, Peter must navigate the intersection of privilege and magic. Suitable for adult readers who enjoy contemporary fantasy grounded in police work.

Lies Sleeping

With Martin Chorley, also known as the Faceless Man, unmasked and on the run, Peter becomes central to a joint operation to bring him to justice. As the Metropolitan Police closes in, Peter finds signs that Chorley is still executing a long-term plan rooted in London’s history.

To protect the city, Peter may need help from Lesley May, who betrayed him, while the threat of Mr Punch still looms. Suitable for adult readers invested in the series’ ongoing conflict.

False Value

Facing fatherhood and an uncertain future, Peter leaves his old police life behind to work for tech entrepreneur Terrence Skinner at the Serious Cybernetics Corporation. Immersed in Old Street’s “silicon roundabout”, he tries to adapt to a world of civilians and technology.

A hidden secret in the building links past innovators Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage to the future of artificial intelligence, with danger that is both magical and technological. Suitable for adult readers interested in the series’ blend of magic and modern life.

Amongst Our Weapons

A murder in the London Silver Vaults seems impossible: the site is heavily secured, yet someone has vanished without a trace. Reports of a blinding flash and memory loss make it a case for Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit.

Alongside DCI Thomas Nightingale, the investigation expands into a mystery tied to London’s history and beyond, while Peter faces urgent pressures at home as Beverley is expecting twins. Suitable for adult readers looking for a later-series case with high stakes.
