The books pair cinematic panel-work with sharp, witty dialogue, delivering both suspense and humor in equal measure. With a shared tone, escalating stakes, and characters you return to again and again, the set is a binge-worthy gift for fans of urban fantasy, crime thrillers, and graphic novels—or anyone who loves a complete, immersive reading journey.
Books Included in This Collection:
Body Work
Peter Grant, newly crowned as England’s first Apprentice wizard in fifty years, confronts two linked cases: a mysterious possession turning ordinary people into killers and a deeper threat lurking in London’s magical underworld. This crossover of CSI-style investigation and wizardry delivers tense, cinematic storytelling with a sly sense of humor that marks the Rivers Of London series. The collaboration between crime procedural rigor and fantastical elements creates a dynamic reading experience that hooks you from the first page.
Night Witch
Grant and Nightingale are drawn into a perilous pursuit when a Russian oligarch hires help in locating his missing daughter. The pursuit draws them into a violent clash of gunmen, political power plays, and a forest-born creature. The narrative blends espionage intrigue with urban fantasy law enforcement, offering brisk pacing, atmospheric London settings, and moments of that signature dry wit readers expect from the series.
Black Mould
A graphic-novel thriller pitched as CSI meets Harry Potter, Black Mould follows a creeping, slime-dark menace seeping through suburban walls. As investigators race to identify the source and stop a widening infestation, the mystery deepens with magical elements and a chilling sense of creeping dread. The art and storytelling converge to create a claustrophobic, cinematic experience that feels both contemporary and magical.
Detective Stories
An anthology within the Rivers Of London graphic universe, Detective Stories gathers several cases featuring Police Constable Peter Grant and his partner. Each tale blends procedural mechanics with supernatural texture, offering compact, high-stakes mysteries that showcase the duo’s growing teamwork, evolving powers, and the city’s hidden magical ecosystem. A perfect entry point for new readers and a rewarding revisit for long-time fans.
Cry Fox
Vengeful Russian mobsters seek merciless retribution by mobilising London’s underworld, but the ex-Soviet sorcerer under the protection of Peter Grant stands in their way. Cry Fox intertwines crime noir with arcane power, delivering sharp dialogue, brisk twists, and a globe-trotting thread that deepens the Rivers Of London mythos. The result is a tense, cinematic chase with a strong focus on character and consequence.
Water Weed
Two wayward river goddesses, Chelsea and Olympia, decide to cash in on the side, pulling Peter and Bev into a cannabis-smuggling plot controlled by London’s new crime queenpin—Hoodette. The story blends street-level crime with mythic politics, offering a fresh mash-up of conspiracy, humor, and wonder that expands the urban magical world readers crave.
Action at a Distance
Set in October 1957, a serial killer begins terrorising London’s streets after moving from Cumbria. Constable Angus Strallen teams up with Nightingale to track a murderer whose abilities hint at a power beyond the ordinary. The narrative tightens with procedural clarity and supernatural breadcrumbs, delivering a gripping blend of period noir and magical policing that deepens the series’ long-running mythology.
The Fey and the Furious
Trouble doesn’t stay away from the racetrack. A swift-car mystery linked to street racing in an Essex car park spirals into something far bigger, as cargo and secrets collide on the road. The tale fuses speed, danger, and mysticism, showcasing how the Rivers Of London world can explode from everyday urban culture into a far-reaching supernatural drama.
