The sixth book in the Rivers of London series, from Sunday Times bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch. Suspicious deaths don't worry policeman Peter Grant or the Foley squad, even when they occur at a private party in one of London's most expensive apartment blocks. But Mrs. Tye's daughter is there, and Peter owes Mrs. Tye a favor. Plunged into the eccentric world of the wealthy, where cellars are bigger than the house and dangerous and mysterious objects are bought and sold on the open market, a sensible young cop would have kept his head down and his nose clean. But this is Peter Grant. He's been given an unparalleled opportunity to alienate old friends and make new enemies at the point where the glamour and privilege worlds intersect. Assuming he survives the week... Praise for the Rivers of London novels: "Ben Aaronovitch has created a wonderful world full of mystery, magic, and fascinating characters.
