In the box

"I used to be a probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service, and to everyone else as the Filth..." Meet DC Peter Grant. He will show you his city. But it's not the capital that you all see as you make your way from tube to bus, from Elephant to Castle. It's a city that under its dark surface is packed full of crime. And of magic. A city that you never suspected... Grant's story starts when he tries to take a witness statement from a man who was already dead. And takes him down a twisting, turning centuries' old mystery that reckons to set modern London on fire...
