Dig a little deeper, and you might discover words like โwizardโ and โmagicโ and โlittle crocodilesโ. Your conclusion might be that someone is taking the piss. But perhaps the investigations by Detective Constable Peter Grant โ newly promoted cop and trainee wizard โ and his colleagues at the Folly (HQ of SAU) โ really are conducted in the shadowy infraworld of Londonโs mythological past โ and present.ย
Among Peterโs associates are the Rivers of London โ the ancient gods and goddesses of the capitalโs waterways (one of them is also his girlfriend, Beverley) who, while often helpful, also skirt that fine line between good and, er, not so good.
โRivers of London: Water Weedโ takes place after the events of โThe Hanging Treeโ and โCry Foxโ.
