Rivers of London series book 01
Narrated by: Kobna Holdbrook-Smith

My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary
constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-
thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth
to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid
a transfer to the Case Progression Unit -- we do paperwork so
real coppers don't have to -- and finding a way to climb into
the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May.

Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take
a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly
valuable, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector
Nightingale, the last wizard in England.

Now I'm a Detective Constable and a trainee wizard, the first
apprentice in fifty years, and my world has become somewhat more
complicated: nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce
between the warring god and goddess of the Thames, and digging
up graves in Covent Garden... and there's something festering
at the heart of the city I love, a malicious vengeful spirit
that takes ordinary Londoners and twists them into grotesque
mannequins to act out its drama of violence and despair.

The spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and
it's falling to me to bring order out of chaos -- or die trying.
