To save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. And, far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch... * * * * * THE 'RIVERS OF LONDON' NOVELS HAVE SOLD OVER TWO MILLION COPIES.
