Ben Aaronovitch Libri

Peter Grant, un aspirante agente di polizia in attesa di accedere al famigerato Metropolitan Police Service di Londra, ha due preoccupazioni: evitare la prospettiva di un noioso lavoro d'ufficio e guadagnarsi i favori della vivace e spregiudicata collega Leslie May. Nel corso di un'inchiesta su un caso di omicidio, Peter riesce inspiegabilmente a ottenere la testimonianza di uno strano individuo, estremamente loquace ma decisamente morto, e a richiamare su di sé l'attenzione dell'enigmatico ispettore Thomas Nightingale, l'ultimo mago d'Inghilterra, capo di un'unità segreta della polizia dedicata alla magia e al soprannaturale. Peter possiede poteri magici, e deve mettere le proprie straordinarie abilità al servizio del bene comune. Aggirandosi tra covi di vampiri nei sobborghi londinesi, negoziando tregue tra le divinità del Tamigi, dissotterrando tombe a Covent Garden, Grant cercherà di governare lo spirito di ribellione della città e riportare, forse, l'ordine nel caos che domina Londra.
