Continuing Ben Aaronovitch‘s busy week, THE HANGING TREE is out now in Germany! Published by DTV as DER GALGEN VON TYBURN, here’s the synopsis for the sixth Peter Grant novel…
In seinem sechsten Fall muss der fabelhafte Peter Grant
- ein verschollenes altes Buch wiederfinden
- einen verdächtigen Todesfall auf einer Party der Reichen und Schönen Londons aufklären
- versuchen, es sich dabei nicht völlig mit Lady Ty zu verderben
- vermeiden, vom Gesichtslosen ins Jenseits befördert zu werden
- sich mit einem ganzen Haufen rauflustiger Amerikaner herumschlagen, die definitiv zu viel ›24‹ gesehen haben.
Kurz: Peter bekommt die einzigartige Gelegenheit, es sich mit alten Freunden zu verderben und sich dabei jede Menge neue Feinde zu machen. Mal vorausgesetzt, er überlebt die kommende Woche.
DTV has published all six of the Peter Grant novels in Germany, in print and audio.
The novel is published in the UK by Gollancz, and in the US by DAW Books. Here’s the English-language synopsis for THE HANGING TREE…
Suspicious deaths are not usually the concern of Police Constable Peter Grant or the Folly—London’s police department for supernatural cases—even when they happen at an exclusive party in one of the flats of the most expensive apartment blocks in London. But the daughter of Lady Ty, influential goddess of the Tyburn river, was there, and Peter owes Lady Ty a favor.
Plunged into the alien world of the super-rich, where the basements are bigger than the houses, where the law is something bought and sold on the open market, a sensible young copper would keep his head down and his nose clean.
But this is Peter Grant we’re talking about.
He’s been given an unparalleled opportunity to alienate old friends and create new enemies at the point where the world of magic and that of privilege intersect. Assuming he survives the week…
The series is published in the UK by Gollancz, in the US by Del Rey (1-3) and DAW Books (4-6), and has been published widely in translation.
