The Special Assessment Unit. Sounds innocuous enough. But when you hear this unit of London’s Metropolitan Police investigates the class of crimes codenamed ‘Falcon’, your ears might prick up. Dig a little deeper, and you might discover words like ‘wizard’ and ‘magic’ and ‘little crocodiles’. Your conclusion might be that someone is taking the piss. But perhaps the investigations by Detective Constable Peter Grant – newly promoted cop and trainee wizard – and his colleagues at the Folly (HQ of SAU) – really are conducted in the shadowy infraworld of London’s mythological past – and present. Among Peter’s associates are the Rivers of London – the ancient gods and goddesses of the capital’s waterways (one of them is also his girlfriend, Beverley) who, while often helpful, also skirt that fine line between good and, er, not so good. ‘Rivers of London: Water Weed’ takes place after the events of ‘The Hanging Tree’ and ‘Cry Fox’.

Also snatched was Abigail, protégée of DC Peter Grant of the Special Assessment Unit, London’s premier (and only) wizarding police unit. Then there’s also the question of what role Dan Russell, a large talking fox, had to play in all of this… An all-new Rivers of London story written by Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel, taking place after the events of the novel ‘The Hanging Tree’ and comic series ‘Detective Stories’.

When a British joy-rider and his Mitsubishi Eclipse were found in the waters surrounding the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier, the Dutch authorities found some unusual cargo in the boot of the boy racer’s car – something not of this world, which just so happens to be Peter’s speciality. Believing the prime suspect behind this supernatural smuggling scheme to be illegal street racing mastermind Emmanuel Cross, Peter borrowed a stylish Ferrari GTO and infiltrated Cross’s races, his sharp mind and magic abilities giving him an edge over other competitors. He couldn’t have expected that he’d be racing at full speed back into Fairy Land, where old enemies await… The Fey and The Furious takes place after the events of ‘Lies Sleeping’, the seventh novel in the Rivers of London series.

Detective Inspector Peter Grant was right to believe there was something off about the mysterious new drug doing the rounds at parties. Goblin girl, Lana Blanding, confirmed it to be “werelight weed”, seemingly grown by magic. That’s as much information as Lana was willing to part with for free. Clever girl, Lana – but not clever enough to know that working both sides would land her in hospital. The werelight weed is being distributed by boat along the Thames, but the main source is still unknown. What Peter does know, however, is that there is an office in Teddington which acts as a staging area for distributing the drugs. He also knows that the dealers are scared shitless of their supplier: a woman covered in face tattoos known as the Hoodette.

Tying directly into the Rivers of London continuity, set between Foxglove Summer and The Hanging Tree Aaronovitch is joined by Doctor Who writer Andrew Cartmel for this gripping new series.

Through the nefarious actions of vulpine fay Reynard (to be considered a cunning bastard), aided by talking fox Danny Russell (forced into service after his mate and cub were kidnapped, so to be considered generally a pretty good canid acting under duress), Anna (daughter of imprisoned Russian oligarch), Abigail (trainee wizard – nay apprentice – to The Folly) and Detective Sergeant Guleed (Muslim ninja) have been kidnapped. While the principal reason would seem to be ransom by the blackmail of Anna’s parents, Abigail and Guleed are wanted for an entirely different purpose – they are about to find out what it feels like to be at the sharp end of a fox hunt…

The kidnapping of two young girls is not what it seems. On the surface it looked like an attempt to ransom the daughter of the imprisoned wife of a Russian oligarch – but then why was Abigail, apprentice wizard to Peter Grant, also taken?

Trouble has a habit of tracking Peter down, even when he’s off-duty. When convicted British joy rider, Jack Polesti, and his Mitsubishi Eclipse were found in the waters surrounding the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier, the Dutch authorities noticed two unusual things. First, Jack didn’t even own a passport. As far as they could figure out, he had never left the UK. Second, some unusual cargo was found in the book of his car – something not of this world, which just so happens to be Peter’s speciality. The prime suspect behind this supernatural smuggling scheme is Emmanuel Cross, a man renowned for arranging illegal street races. Agreeing to go undercover in one of Cross’ organised races, Peter has parked his beloved orange ASBO at home, instead sporting an impressive Ferrari GTO. But this is no ordinary street race. Peter is about to embark on the wildest ride of his life…

October 1957. Thomas Nightingale, Chief Inspector and wizarding legend, reunited with an old friend he met during the Second World War. The friend, Angus Strallen, was in pursuit of a serial killer, Professor Uwe Fischer, a Luftwaffe pilot who settled in Cumberland after the war to work in a factory. Fischer had been targeting women of different cultures which led him – and Strallen – to the cultural melting pot of London. Seemingly always one step ahead of the Metropolitan Police, Fischer kept evading capture, putting his own magical powers and good political relations to use. But as the German scientists read American comic books in his hotel room, Strallen’s partner in crime (and romance), Dr. Jacqueline Frye, acquired a very helpful package from Fischer’s home in Cumberland which was soon on its way to London: a scarf. Paired with the powerful nose of a bloodhound named Hesperus, Nightingale and Strallen’s hunt for Fischer is afoot…
