All he wants is his life returned to him and woe betide any man who stands in his way. It is a world he neither recognises nor likes. Now, with the enchantment accidentally broken by Olympia and Chelsea, daughters of the river goddess Mama Thames, Jeter, twisted by his time spent with the nymphs, has returned to our world bitter and resentful. The illustrations were originally painted by a Victorian artist called Jeter Day who disappeared one night in an enchanted forest when he was spirited away by tree nymphs never to be seen again… Illustrations from a mysterious book of fairy tales drawn in the late 1800s are coming to life in the 21st Century and causing havoc.
Fans of a darn good crime novel who never knew they would enjoy a fantasy novel will absolutely love this series.CSI meets Harry Potter in this graphic novel from Ben Aaronovitch - writer of the bestselling Rivers of London supernatural police procedural crime novel series, Andrew Cartmel author of The Vinyl Detective and Celeste Bronfman. To read Rivers of London is to enter a world we thought we'd left behind as children, one where magical impossibility becomes possible and absurdly plausible. When one murder turns into another with the same horrific injuries inflicted upon the victims, Peter, Lesley and DI Nightingale combine forces to investigate. Peter works closely with PC Lesley May, a proper copper with an eye on the detail and a talent for fingering collars. Their home is a character in its own right and when Toby the ghost hunting dog joins the team their little, highly irregular family, is complete. Molly has beautiful long glossy hair, glides noiselessly and has interestingly sharp dentistry. The other resident of The Folly is Molly, who does for them. There he will discover that not only has he a talent for spotting spectral witnesses, but he is to become an apprentice wizard, learning spells that will get him out of many a tight spot. Peter is seconded to DI Thomas Nightingale who lives and works from The Folly, a beautiful, many roomed London home.
