Grant is part of a very special London police unit. Full-time cop and part time wizard he works on rather unusual crimes – those that involve magic and the general weirdness that permeates London’s dark underbelly.
His latest case begins with a perfectly innocent car on a homicidal killing spree – without a driver. But, before you know it, there’s a Bosnian refugee, the Most Haunted Car in England, a bunch of teenagers loaded on Ketamine and seemingly-harmless wooden bench with the darkest of pasts…
The story is rendered beautifully with art by Lee Sullivan and colours by Luis Guerrero. The comic series is still on-going: the eighth story-arc, THE FEY AND THE FURIOUS was recently completed.
The Rivers of London comic series is based on characters and the world of Ben’s critically-acclaimed, internationally bestselling Peter Grant series of novels and novellas.
