Follow Peter Grant, a London police constable who discovers he's also an apprentice wizard, as he investigates crimes where the supernatural and the everyday collide. Blending police procedural detail with sharp wit and inventive magic, the series moves from London's back streets to the countryside and beyond. Featuring full-length novels and companion novellas, this collection is a complete way to experience Peter's growing world, his colorful colleagues, and the ever-present rivers and spirits that shape the city he protects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBen Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series reimagines London as a city alive with old gods, ghosts, and magical politics hiding just beneath its modern surface. The books follow Peter Grant from his first days as a probationary constable recruited into the Metropolitan Police's small, secretive magical unit, through years of increasingly strange and dangerous cases. Working under the tutelage of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, Peter learns spellcraft while still doing the unglamorous legwork of real policing: witness interviews, paperwork, and the occasional high-speed chase through London traffic. Along the way he crosses paths with the personified spirits of London's rivers, rival magicians, and creatures that most Londoners never notice. The novellas included in this set fill in the corners of that world, spotlighting supporting characters such as Peter's cousin Abigail and international counterparts working similar cases abroad. Praised for its wit, meticulous London detail, and clever mixing of genres, the series rewards readers who enjoy mysteries with a supernatural edge and characters who feel genuinely lived-in. Read in order, this collection traces Peter's development from newcomer to seasoned practitioner, with the city of London itself functioning almost as a character throughout. Fans of contemporary fantasy, police procedurals, and stories that treat magic as just another complicated part of city life will find plenty to enjoy across these thirteen books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 13-book set spanning the main novels and companion novellas in one collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows Peter Grant's full journey from rookie constable to seasoned wizard-detective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends police procedural mystery with inventive, London-rooted urban fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for fans of contemporary fantasy, crime fiction, and quirky detective stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for long car rides, holiday reading, or building a dedicated fantasy shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set, ready to read from book one straight through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRivers of London — Introduces Constable Peter Grant as he discovers London's hidden world of magic while investigating a supernatural murder case.\u003cbr\u003eMoon Over Soho — Peter investigates a string of jazz musician deaths tied to dark magic spreading through London's Soho district.\u003cbr\u003eWhispers Underground — Peter and his colleagues probe a supernatural murder connected to the tunnels of the London Underground.\u003cbr\u003eBroken Homes — Peter follows a trail of magic and violence to a notorious South London housing estate, uncovering a shocking twist along the way.\u003cbr\u003eFoxglove Summer — Peter leaves London for a small Herefordshire village to help investigate two missing girls, finding countryside magic he didn't expect.\u003cbr\u003eWhat Abigail Did That Summer — A novella putting Peter's cousin Abigail Kamara center stage as she investigates strange disappearances around Hampstead Heath.\u003cbr\u003eThe Furthest Station — A novella following Peter and PC Jaget Kumar as they investigate ghost sightings reported on London's Metropolitan Line.\u003cbr\u003eThe Hanging Tree — Peter faces the legacy of London's hangings while investigating a death in Mayfair tangled up in old magical scores.\u003cbr\u003eThe October Man — A novella set in Germany, introducing Peter's counterpart Tobias Winter as he investigates a body found beside the Naab river.\u003cbr\u003eLies Sleeping — Peter closes in on the rogue wizard known as the Faceless Man in a climactic confrontation across London.\u003cbr\u003eFalse Value — Peter goes undercover at a cutting-edge tech company, where a case tangles up artificial intelligence with old magic.\u003cbr\u003eAmongst Our Weapons — Peter investigates a murder at London's Silver Vaults linked to an ancient and dangerous ring.\u003cbr\u003eWinter's Gifts — A novella crossing the Atlantic as FBI agent Kimberley Reynolds teams up with Peter's world to investigate strange occurrences in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBen Aaronovitch is a British author and screenwriter best known for creating the Rivers of London series, blending police procedural storytelling with urban fantasy.
