Overview
Step back into Ben Aaronovitch's beloved Rivers of London universe with this four-book novella collection, a perfect companion set for readers already hooked on Peter Grant's magical London and newcomers curious about urban fantasy with a police procedural edge. Each standalone story expands the world through a different lens, from Abigail Kamara's own supernatural case to a German counterpart investigating river magic abroad. Brand new paperback copies make this an easy way to catch up on side stories that deepen the main series without needing to be read in strict order.

About the Books
This collection gathers four novellas set within the Rivers of London series, the inventive blend of police procedural and urban fantasy that follows magic-wielding officers of London's Metropolitan Police. What Abigail Did That Summer hands the narration to Abigail Kamara, Peter Grant's sharp-tongued teenage cousin, as she investigates strange disappearances of teens around Hampstead Heath and uncovers a hidden world of talking foxes and old magic working beneath the city. The Furthest Station finds Peter Grant called in when commuters on London's Metropolitan Line report unsettling ghostly encounters, forcing him to track a spectral mystery through the Underground's tunnels and history. The October Man steps outside London entirely, introducing Tobias Winter, the German magical police officer, as he investigates a bizarre death tied to vineyards, rivers, and ancient local magic in the city of Trier. Winter's Gifts takes the series further afield still, following an American-set case touched by Rivers of London magic as outside investigators confront a threat rooted in folklore and the uncanny. Together these four novellas work as flexible entry points or bonus reading for established fans, each one short enough to finish in a sitting yet rich with the sharp wit, meticulous world-building, and clever magic systems the series is known for. Brand new paperback editions make this set easy to shelve, gift, or read in any order alongside the numbered Rivers of London novels.
