Rivers of London book 2 · 2011
Moon Over Soho
Jazz musicians in Soho are dying of apparently natural causes, and Peter Grant notices the faint echo of a classic tune around their bodies. The case draws on his own father’s past as a jazz trumpeter, while a string of grisly attacks hints at a far more dangerous magician at work.
