London Falling by Paul Cornell

London Falling by Paul Cornell

London Falling by Paul Cornell is an urban fantasy twist on the classic police procedural: London cops versus magical creatures of night

Police officers Quill, Costain, Sefton, and Ross know the worst of London--or they think they do. While investigating a mobster's mysterious death, they come into contact with a strange artifact and accidentally develop the Sight. Suddenly they can see the true evil haunting London's streets.

Armed with police instincts and procedures, the four officers take on the otherworldly creatures secretly prowling London. Football lore and the tragic history of a Tudor queen become entwined in their pursuit of an age-old witch with a penchant for child sacrifice. But when London's monsters become aware of their meddling, the officers must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to clean up their city.

Paul Cornell has written some of Doctor Who's best-loved episodes for the BBC, as well as the novel Doctor Who: Nemesis of the Daleks with Dan Abnett.

He has been Hugo Award-nominated for his work in TV, comics and prose, and won the BSFA award for his short fiction.
