About this product

Product Information

" Midnight Riot is what would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Fuzz. It is a hilarious, keenly imagined caper."--Diana Gabaldon Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is 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. "Filled with detail and imagination . . . Aaronovitch is a name to watch."--Peter F. Hamilton "Fresh, original, and a wonderful read . . . I loved it."--Charlaine Harris

  • British police procedural meets urban fantasy - AMAZING!

    The Rivers of London series is simply AMAZING! Midnight Riot introduces Peter Grant, a London constable just finishing his training and waiting for assignment to the boring paperwork unit -- until he meets a ghost while guarding the scene where a headless body is found. Of course his partner, the perky Leslie May doesn't believe him. He sets out to find the ghost and ends up as a wizard in training. Diverse, fun, snarky, British police procedural mixed with urban fantasy. Highly recommended -- well, unless F-bombs offend you LOL.

  • Intersting, the 'modern' version of Harry Potter all grown up ?

    slightly odd / eclectic English fiction (if you are not sharp on English slang, may need to look up a few words lol), the 'real' wizzard(s) in England with references back to Hogwarts (different name).

  • Fun fantasy series.

    Fun fantasy series. Interesting characters. Read the second novel first & had to backtrack.

  • A little Terry Pratchett, a little Colin Dexter

    In that quintessential British way, these stories manage to be enthralling, amusing, intelligent and easy reading. The characters, both recurring and singletons, are novel yet rooted in their own lives.
