As the group starts to see London's sinister magic for themselves, they have two choices: panic or use their new abilities.

More than their lives will depend on it.Continue the gritty Shadow Police series with The Severed Streets and Who Killed Sherlock Holmes 'An irresistible blend of guns, gangsters, cops and monsters' - Ben Aaronovitch, author of Rivers of London.
