song. That's what London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant first notices when he examines the corpse of Cyrus Wilkins, part-time jazz drummer and full-time accountant, who dropped dead of a heart attack while playing a gig at Soho's 606 Club. The notes of the old jazz standard are rising from the body - a sure sign that something about the man's death was not at all natural but instead supernatural. Body and soul - they're also what Peter will risk as he investigates a pattern of similar deaths in and around Soho. With the help of his superior officer, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, and the assistance of beautiful jazz aficionado Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter will uncover a deadly magical menace - one that leads right to his own doorstep and to the squandered promise of a young jazz musician: a talented trumpet player named Richard "Lord" Grant - otherwise known as Peter's dear old dad.Praise for the Rivers of London novels:'Ben Aaronovitch has created a wonderful world full of mystery, magic and fantastic characters.

"Irene Ochoa has long felt trapped in a dead end alley, an alley whose walls seem to cave in on…
her as the abuse by her husband Marcos becomes habitual. Her only weapon is her survival instinct and it is very clear to her that it is either Marcós life or her own. The perfect opportunity presents itself on a Wednesday when Marcos comes home more drunk than usual and falls asleep. A couple of hours later, firefighters and policemen investigate the cause of a fire that took its only victim: Marcos. Everything has gone as planned, but there is one thing that Irene has no control over. That same night she got rid of her abuser and she is able to taste her freedom at last, she meets a man that could take it right from under her again. This man is Inspector Vázquez, the policeman in charge of her murdered husband's case. Their relationship signifies passion, longing and danger. Whilst Pamplona still is in a state of shock over the accident, Inspector Vázquez is in the midst of quite possibly his most lurid case of his entire career: several voyagers that had been on the Camino de Santiago were found dead in Roncesvalles, just a few kilometers away, which leads the investigators to believe that this was the work of a serial killer." -- Provided by publisher

has a daughter with a Catalan banker and in the midst of today's broken society seeks a way to redeem the family's emigration dating back to World War II from Nazi-occupied Vienna. A powerful repertoire of uncontrollable images of family memory leap into the consciousness of the day to day of a New York life marked by lovelessness, parenting, the search for a new life.

This is the novel debut of an original writer who creates a dazzling text for the power of the language, which emerges as if it springs from the deep need to name the world." -- Provided by publisher

freezing ground. The howling wind lifts the last of the snow clinging to her face, exposing her lovely features, frozen in forever sleep. Detective Josie Quinn is still recovering from the killing of a beloved member of her team when she and her husband Noah receive yet more devastating news. Close to her breaking point, Josie heads to a specialist trauma retreat, set in an isolated group of log cabins in the mountains of Pennsylvania. But fear is not far behind her. Josie's five fellow patients all seem to be hiding secrets darker than just the problems that brought them there and a storm is gathering, with thick snow coming down fast, isolating the cabins from the world below. Then one morning, Meg Cleary disappears. Having spent years living in terror of a stalker, Meg had come to the retreat to try to piece her life back together. But now, her cabin is empty, no logs are burning in her fireplace, no tracks in the snow lead to or from her door. Quickly organizing a search, Josie's worst fear is realized when she finds Meg's body lying in the snow, the marks around her neck revealing that her death was no accident. And this is no normal case, as Josie is stranded without her team, a phone signal or any legal authority to investigate. When she discovers that someone has placed hidden cameras inside the retreat buildings, Josie's terror grows with the knowledge that the murderer is among them. Then another patient goes missing. With their food supplies running low and no chance of escape, Josie knows that she is in the greatest danger of her life, and that she alone has a chance to identify the killer and save the rest of the group before it's too late...."-- From publisher

has been tracking her for years. The well-structured novel uses an omniscient narrator to address such important themes as identity, forgiveness, redemption, evolution and truth. It is 1986. Everyone in Nidocuervo knows that the boy and Marta Ferrer, la Colorada, are different. Everyone also knows that Tomás Laguna, a retired insurance broker, rented the guardians' house to live there with Roco, a black dog. In reality, nobody knows anything: neither of them is what they say they are, and not even they are aware of the ties that bind them, although the time will come when they will have to settle their accounts with the horror of political violence." -- Provided by publisher
