Science Fiction
This is the first in a series by British author Ben Aaronovitch featuring Peter Grant, a London bobby with . . . "special" abilities. In this adventure, Peter guards a crime scene and interviews a ghost, meets his new boss and introduces us to his co-workers and his family: Dad, a washed up jazz muscian and Mum, who is a not at all surprised to find her son is special. All while solving a series of very strange murders.
The whole series has interesting characters and mysteries and it is clear that Aaronovitch loves his home town. The covers are taken from an intricatly drawn map by Stephen Walter call "The Island". It should be noted that, for some reason, in North America this book is published as "Midnight Riot".
