The Rivers Of London

Peter Grant is a newly minted police constable in London, in love with his colleague Lesley, and recently a novice magician. One night, Peter is called to Covent Garden to the scene of a gruesome murder. There, he encounters a ghost who claims to have witnessed the murder. Peter's affinity for the magical and his encounter with the supernatural brings the last wizard of England into play: his superior, Police Inspector Thomas Nightingale. Nightingale introduces Peter to the fundamentals of magic. From now on, Peter's life becomes significantly more complicated. The book, translated from English by Karlheinz Dürr, has been published by dtv.
