Synopsis
The dark is rising . . . Detective Inspector James Quill is about to complete the drugs bust of his career. Then his prize suspect Rob Toshack is murdered in custody. Furious, Quill pursues the investigation, co-opting intelligence analyst Lisa Ross and undercover cops Costain and Sefton. But nothing about Toshack’s murder is normal.
Toshack had struck a bargain with a vindictive entity, whose occult powers kept Toshack one step ahead of the law – until his luck ran out. Now, the team must find a 'suspect' who can bend space and time and alter memory itself. And they will kill again.
As the group starts to see London’s sinister magic for themselves, they have two choices: panic or use their new abilities. Then they must hunt a terrifying supernatural force the only way they know how: using police methods, equipment and tactics. But they must all learn the rules of this new game - and quickly. More than their lives will depend on it.
‘He's gone and written a novel too! I suspect it will be just as good as everything else he's written, and that's not fair at all’ George R R Martin

Review
An irresistible blend of guns, gangsters, cops and monsters that grabs you by the eyeballs and never lets go. Start this book early in the day people, because you ain't going to get no sleep until it's done (Ben Aaronovitch)
'London Falling is a much grittier vision of a gothic, fantasy London, well balanced between its depiction of the city's criminal underworld and a horrifying fantasy reality that for most of the novel lurks just at the edges of sight. Its take on the crime genre is less The Bill, more The Sweeney' Guardian
‘Realistic banter, original twists; a nifty debut’ Daily Telegraph
The Shadow Police series is the quintessential British contemporary fantasy, full of grit and magic and wonderful things. Paul Cornell is a national treasure (Adam Christopher)

Condition: Como nuevo. : En 'London Falling', el inspector de policía James Quill está a punto de completar la mayor redada de drogas de su carrera. Sin embargo, su principal sospechoso, Rob Toshack, es asesinado bajo custodia. Furioso, Quill inicia una investigación, reclutando a la analista de inteligencia Lisa Ross y a los agentes encubiertos Costain y Sefton. Pero nada sobre el asesinato de Toshack es normal. Toshack había hecho un pacto con una entidad vengativa, cuyos poderes ocultos le permitieron estar un paso por delante de la ley, hasta que su suerte se agotó. Ahora, el equipo debe encontrar a un 'sospechoso' que puede doblar el espacio y el tiempo, y alterar la memoria misma. Y volverán a matar. A medida que el grupo comienza a ver la magia siniestra de Londres por sí mismos, tienen dos opciones: entrar en pánico o usar sus nuevas habilidades. Luego deben cazar una fuerza sobrenatural aterradora de la única manera que saben: utilizando métodos, equipos y tácticas policiales. Pero todos deben aprender las reglas de este nuevo juego, y rápidamente. Más que sus vidas dependerán de ello.
