Description

When a young woman dies at an exclusive London party, the case appears to involve drugs, privilege, and a powerful family—but Detective Constable Peter Grant suspects something far stranger is at work. As he follows the evidence into the city’s hidden magical underworld, old mysteries, dangerous spirits, and a sinister connection to a historic hanging tree begin to emerge. Blending police procedural, urban fantasy, dry humor, and richly imagined folklore, the novel explores power, secrecy, and the uneasy relationship between modern London and its supernatural past. Witty, atmospheric, and fast-paced, it offers another compelling investigation in a world where magic is real and justice is rarely straightforward.
