Rivers of London: 7-9 Boxed Set cover

CSI meets Harry Potter in this graphic novel from Ben Aaronovitch, writer of the bestselling Rivers of London supernatural police procedural crime novel series, and Andrew Cartmel author of The Vinyl Detective. Includes 3 stunning art cards! A stunning box set edition of the bestselling graphic novels in the Rivers of London series, starring Ben Aaronovitch's laconic trainee wizard and budding detective, Peter Grant. Vol 7: Action at a Distance Thomas Nightingale is a man of immense power, one of the most highly revered magicians in Europe, but with a guarded past. Hidden within the archives of London Metropolitan Police's Special Assessment Unit, Detective Constable Peter Grant is about to uncover a brief glimpse into his mentor's history. Vol 8: The Fey and the Furious When a Mitsubishi Eclipse washes up on the shores of the Netherlands, officers are surprised to find some unusual cargo in its boot. Fortunately, unusual cargo just so happens to be wizarding-cop Peter Grant's speciality. Infiltrating illegal street races, Peter hopes to find the supplier, but instead quickly finds himself speeding into a whole new world of trouble, where old enemies await. Vol 9: Monday, Monday What starts as a routine undercover operation to break up an organised teenage pickpocket gang turns into something far more dangerous when the Metropolitan police are confronted by a Swedish werewolf who'll stop at nothing to avoid capture. Now it's up to full-time cop and part-time wizard Peter Grant and his cohort of chums to hunt the deadly lycanthrope and bring him to heel!

Praise for the series: "A delight from start to finish" - Crime Review Consistently fun and entertaining in equal measure, always worth your money and time - NerdlyA police procedural crossed with fantasy mystery ... I highly recommend this book - Major Spoilers Amazing writing and interior artwork that will guarantee you will be a fan for life - Reading With A Flight Ring "The magic or falcon, as police slang would have it is pleasingly grounded here, creating a world of subtle intricacies rather than dazzling fireworks, and the supernatural is blended into the police procedural with satisfying realism. The characters are familiar but engaging enough, and the art does much to make each face distinctive and expressive as well as give the story its down-to-earth sturdiness." - Booklist
