Midnight Riot (Rivers of London)

Midnight Riot is a thrilling and original novel that combines the best of crime fiction, fantasy, and humor.

Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of becoming a detective in London's Metropolitan Police, but his superior has other plans.

However, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost, he finds himself plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic.

With a unique blend of detail and imagination, Aaronovitch has created a fun and funny character in Grant, who displays wit more than snark (a welcome attitude) and shows he can think on his feet.

This is a great start to what will hopefully be a long series of adventures.

Don't miss out on this exciting and original read!
