We are very happy to report that Ben Aaronovitch‘s fifth Rivers of London novel, FOXGLOVE SUMMER, is out now in Slovakia! Published by Slovart as LETO NA VIDIEKU, it was translated by Oľga Kralovičová. Here’s the synopsis…
Po zrade kolegyne Lesley Mayovej je Peter Grant vykoľajený a podľa jeho nadriadeného inšpektora Nightingala mu prospeje pobyt na vidieku. Peter sa tak ocitne mimo svojej komfortnej zóny nielen preto, že nie je vo svojom geografickom rajóne, ale pre policajta z veľkomesta je malá dedina v herefordshirskom grófstve neznáme prostredie. Napriek tomu ponúkne pomoc miestnej polícii pri pátraní po dvoch nezvestných jedenásťročných dievčatách. Má totiž silné podozrenie, že za zmiznutím dievčat je niečo, čo patrí pod záležitosti Pavilónu.
FOXGLOVE SUMMER is published in the UK by Gollancz and in North America by DAW Books — it is also available widely in translation. Here’s the English-language synopsis…
In the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London – to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London, you can’t take the London out of the copper.
Travelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what’s more, all the shops are closed by 4pm…
The latest novel in the series is the instant-bestseller STONE & SKY, out now and published by Orion (UK) and DAW Books (North America).
‘This isn’t London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.’
Detective Sergeant Peter Grant takes a much-needed holiday up in Scotland. And he’ll need one when this is over…
If more’s the merrier, then it’s ecstatic as his partner Beverley, their young twins, his mum, dad, his dad’s band and their dodgy manager all tag along. Even his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, takes in the coastal airs as he trains Peter’s cousin Abigail in the arcane arts.
And they’ll need them too, because Scotland’s Granite City has more than its fair share of history and mystery, myth … and murder.
When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off.
Something may be stirring beyond the bay – but there’s something far stranger in the sky…
