Peter Grant #1: Midnight Riot (UK title: Rivers of London)
PC Peter Grant's ability to speak with ghosts brings him to the attention of DCI Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. As a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs London, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback.
Recommended by Elizabeth: Magic + police procedural in modern-day London with lots of action, a decidedly British sense of humor, and a refreshingly diverse cast of characters.
