# Rivers of London: Book 1 in the #1 bestselling Rivers of London series (A Rivers of London novel)

The Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch is a witty urban fantasy that blends crime, magic, and police procedural. Peter Grant, a probationary constable in London’s Metropolitan Police, expects an unremarkable career until he takes a witness statement from a ghost. Recruited by DCI Thomas Nightingale, the last officially sanctioned wizard in Britain, Peter joins a covert unit responsible for investigating supernatural offences across the city.

As a wave of savage and bizarre murders engulfs London, Peter uncovers a hidden realm where ancient river deities, restless spirits, and long-dormant evils exist alongside mortals. The subsequent novels follow his cases through a magical London, balancing sharp humour with action and mystery. This contemporary fantasy series, also known as A Rivers of London novel, has sold millions of copies and delivers an imaginative, irreverent twist on detective fiction.
