In the fifth of his bestselling series, Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and out of London to a small village in Herefordshire. Here, the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. However, while you can take the London copper out of London, you can't take the London out of the copper. Traveling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more, all the shops are closed by 4 PM.
