Peter Grant, constable, has just discovered a corpse in Covent Garden; but the only witness has been dead for a century. So begins Peter's initiation into an arcane and secret arm of the Metropolitan Police. Lively, fun and with more than a touch of Pratchett humour, this is detection with magic - not forgetting the feuding Mama Thames and Father Thames with their family - the rivers of London.
