A deadly history.
A dangerous mystery.
And a dark plan coming to light.
IN LONDON, THE PAST IS NEVER DEAD.
IT ONLY...
LIES SLEEPING
* * * * *
Martin Chorley - aka the Faceless Man - wanted for multiple counts of murder, fraud and crimes against humanity, has been unmasked and is on the run. Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring Chorley to justice.
But even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that Chorley, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long term plan. A plan that has its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees.
To save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. And, far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch...

What happened to the Humour?
Take care SPOILERS in this. I own all the other “Rivers of London” Books love them all. L have read and re-read them all several times picking up on clever little bits that I missed on previous readings. I have been insisting that my non fantasy fan friends read them too as the writing was so witty and so enjoyable. Like all fans I have been waiting for the 7th book to arrive and I read it immediately that it arrived on my kindle. I'm afraid that I was a bit disappointed.

An even wilder ride than usual for PC Peter Grant in mystical, magical London
This book was exhausting with car chases, gun fights, kidnaping, magical duels, and brief interludes of love and art. I don’t remember a kitchen sink, but there might have been one or more of those thrown in, too. Yet somehow it all came together in the end and even made enough sense to keep me reading long into the night

The best of the series yet.
Peter Grant and the London police force chase the Faceless Man and his new apprentice Lesley Mae who now has multiple faces. The book culminates on the London Bridge where the two are joined by the infamous Mr. Punch. As always exciting and fun. I highly recommend Americans reading it as an ebook so getting definitions of obscure slang and Police terminology is easier.

Bad
There are too many unnecessary chapters
