Description
The ninth novel of the bestselling Rivers of London urban fantasy series returns to the adventures of Peter Grant, detective and apprentice wizard, as he solves magical crimes in the city of London.
There is a world hidden underneath this great city.
The London Silver Vaults—for well over a century, the largest collection of silver for sale in the world. It has more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a paparazzi convention.
Not somewhere you can murder someone and vanish without a trace—only that’s what happened.
The disappearing act, the reports of a blinding flash of light, and memory loss amongst the witnesses all make this a case for Detective Constable Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit.
Alongside their boss DCI Thomas Nightingale, the SAU find themselves embroiled in a mystery that encompasses London’s tangled history, foreign lands and, most terrifying of all, the North!
And Peter must solve this case soon, because back home his partner Beverley is expecting twins any day now. But what he doesn’t know is that he’s about to encounter something—and somebody—that nobody ever expects…
Effortlessly original, endlessly inventive and hugely entertaining—step into the world of the much-loved, bestselling Rivers of London series.

Best. Series. EVER! Seriously I cannot say enough good things about this series or about how Aaronovitch manages to keep Peter's world fresh and evolving and dangerous on new levels with every book, without ever devolving into trope or repetition or over the top inanity...
In this latest story we once again see our Intrepid Protagonist desperately trying to navigate the multiple circles in which he travels, overlapping his personal and professional lives in a way that is endearing, hilarious, and surprisingly fraught with danger. I'm eager to see the twin storyline develop, and would dearly love to see Nightingale back in the thick of things in a way that he hasn't been since the early books. But honestly, wherever these books go I'm fine with it - Aaronovitch has a knack for pulling me into his world and while it is a world that I would probably be too scared to live in, I dearly love to visit it through every new book!
