Description

Rivers of London is the first book in a series by Ben Aaronovitch, a Sunday Times Number One bestselling author. In this novel, a young probationary constable named Peter Grant becomes embroiled in a world of magic and mystery when he tries to take a statement from a man who is already dead. As a series of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is drawn into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals, and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic. The story follows Peter's journey as he navigates this strange new world, aided by Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and the supernatural. With its unique blend of mystery, magic, and humor, Rivers of London is a compelling and imaginative tale that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. This book is the first in a popular series that has sold over two million copies around the world. If you're looking for a story that combines elements of crime, fantasy, and humor, Rivers of London is an excellent choice.
