We’re very happy to report that WHISPERS UNDERGROUND, the third novel in Ben Aaronovitch‘s internationally-bestselling Rivers of London series, is now available in Croatia! Published by Fokus as ŠAPTAJI IZ PODZEMLJA, it was translated by Igor Rendić. Here’s the synopsis…
Detektiv pozornik Peter Grant relativno nedavno dobio je novo zaduženje – angažirali su ga u posebnom odjelu Metropolitanske policije koji se bavi svime nadnaravnim. Naravno da postojanje tog odjela nije općepoznata stvar, nego strogo čuvana tajna. A Petera je već od starta lijepo krenulo: bizarni slučajevi i kojekakva magična bića postala su mu kao „dobar dan“.
Novi predmet koji su mu dodijelili nije ništa manje… čudan. Naime, u podzemnoj je željeznici od oružja prožetog magijom skončao ni manje ni više nego – sin američkog senatora.
Naravno da slučaj prijeti postati međunarodnim incidentom, pa su Peteru na vrat naprtili agenticu američke kriminalističko-obavještajne službe. Bože, kako je ta žena naporna… No s FBI-em nema šale.
A iz mraka, iz podzemnih prolaza ispod Londona, čuju se neki veoma neobični šapati…
The novel is published in the UK by Gollancz, and North America by JABberwocky. Here’s the English-language synopsis…
Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it’s just as well – he’s already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn’t even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there’s his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn’t his fault, but still.
Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met’s Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka ‘The Folly’. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain’s Last Wizard.
The latest book in the Rivers of London series is STONE & SKY, the tenth novel, which is published by Gollancz/Orion (UK), DAW Books (North America) and DTV (Germany).
