Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch
A WHOLE NEW REASON TO MIND THE GAP It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher--and the victim's wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder. The trouble is, the bottom--if it exists at all--is deeper and more unnatural than anyone suspects . . . except, that is, for London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant. With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as the Faceless Man, it's up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and--as of now--deadliest subway system in the world. At least he won't be alone. No, the FBI has sent over a crack agent to help. She's young, ambitious, beautiful . . . and a born-again Christian apt to view any magic as the work of the devil. Oh yeah--that's going to go well.Ben Aaronovitch was born in London in 1964 and grew up with the kind of boring routine that leads a man to drink or to write science fiction. He is a screenwriter who rose to prominence thanks to his work on BBC television's iconic Doctor Who, for which he penned certain episodes that are now widely recognized as classics and which he himself enjoys. He's also the author of a number of innovative TV tie-in novels. After a decade of this type of work, he thought it was time to show the world what he was capable of, and he began writing his first serious original novel. As a result, Peter Grant's first adventure, Midnight Riot, was published, followed by Moon Over Soho.
