Der böse Ort

Strange things are happening in the Skygarden Tower, a notorious social housing block in South London. Things that exert a magical allure on Police Constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant. Initially, it’s just about a stolen old book on magic that comes from the White Library in Weimar. But then the case rapidly expands. For the builder of the tower, Erik Stromberg, a brilliant yet slightly disturbed architect, apparently dabbled not only in modern design during his time at the Bauhaus but also in magic. This could explain why the Skygarden Tower has produced a relentless stream of gifted artists, politicians, drug dealers, serial killers, and lunatics. And why the eerie faceless magician, whom Peter remembers all too well, shows such a keen interest in it all.
