Overview
Follow Metropolitan Police constable Peter Grant from his first brush with the supernatural to nine novels of magic, murder, and London lore in this complete Rivers of London paperback set. Recruited by the mysterious Inspector Nightingale, Peter becomes the newest apprentice wizard in England, tasked with policing the city's magical underbelly alongside his day job of chasing down very human criminals. Ben Aaronovitch blends gritty police procedural with witty, inventive urban fantasy, weaving in London's rivers, ghosts, and history. This nine-book collection is the essential way to experience Peter Grant's story from the beginning.

About the Books
This nine-book paperback set collects the core Rivers of London novels by Ben Aaronovitch, following Metropolitan Police constable Peter Grant from his earliest encounter with a talking ghost to a decade of magical casework across London. The series opens with Rivers of London, in which Peter is pulled into the world of Inspector Nightingale, the last official wizard in England, and quickly finds himself apprenticed to a very unusual branch of the police force. Across Moon Over Soho, Whispers Under Ground, Broken Homes, and Foxglove Summer, Peter's caseload expands from jazz-loving killers to underground tunnels, secretive housing estates, and a search that takes him far outside the city. The Hanging Tree, Lies Sleeping, False Value, and Amongst Our Weapons deepen the mythology further, bringing long-running threads to dramatic turning points while introducing new magical threats, rival factions, and the ever-shifting politics of London's river goddesses and gods. Throughout the series, Aaronovitch grounds his magic in procedure: paperwork, forensics, and department budgets sit alongside spells, ghosts, and the occasional exploding vampire. The result is a distinctive blend of urban fantasy and police procedural, narrated by Peter's sharp, self-deprecating voice. Fans of witty, well-researched fantasy with a strong sense of place will find plenty to love, as London itself becomes almost a character in its own right, its history and geography woven into every case. Together, these nine novels offer new and longtime readers a satisfying, chronological way to dive into one of modern urban fantasy's most acclaimed series.
