Rivers of London
by Ben AaronovitchCSI London, Urban Fantasy-style! My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May. <P><P>Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluable, and that brought me to the attention of Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in England. Now I'm a Detective Constable and a trainee wizard, the first apprentice in fifty years, and my world has become somewhat more complicated: nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce between the warring god and goddess of the Thames, and digging up graves in Covent Garden . . . and there's something festering at the heart of the city I love, a malicious vengeful spirit that takes ordinary Londoners and twists them into grotesque mannequins to act out its drama of violence and despair. The spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and it's falling to me to bring order out of chaos - or die trying.

Amabel, una joven de veinticinco años no tardará en descubrir que no se trata de un edificio cualquiera: en su interior, los pupitres y las mesas de los profesores siguen en su sitio, y el aire todavía está cargado del polvo de las tizas. Todos los relojes, empezando por el de la fachada hasta el reloj de péndulo del salón, marcan las nueve y diecinueve minutos, a saber de qué día y de qué año. ¿Qué ha pasado en ese antiguo colegio, tan asombroso como para detener el tiempo dentro de sus paredes? Y sobre todo ¿quién es ese chico en uniforme, alumno de ese colegio, con el que Amabel habla aunque es evidente que el colegio tiene que estar cerrado desde hace años? Entre pasado y presente, Bianca Rita Cataldi nos guía en un mundo en el que los eventos pueden alterar el curso del tiempo, demostrando que todos nosotros tenemos nuestro universo paralelo con el que antes o después tendremos que lidiar.

The body of a young girl is found dead in the river, and mystery grows darker and even more deadly, opening a door onto possible human sacrifice, witchcraft, and a growing threat to his family and friends. He finds himself fighting to save his wife Alice’s life, and prevent the ruination of his friends, his once idyllic life devolving into a dark puzzle for which there is no clear solution.Victorian-era investigator Langdon St. Ives is caught up in skullduggery when he looks into the murder of a mill worker in his seventh full-length adventure (after Beneath London) from World Fantasy Award–winner Blaylock.

Chemicals from the mill are poisoning local streams and workers, and union men have been urging the women working at the mill to strike. Mother Laswell, the leader of a neighborhood spiritualist colony and a determined environmentalist, is also calling on the mill to clean up its act. When former mill worker Daisy Dumpel is found murdered, a local union organizer is charged with the crime, but St. Ives has doubts. Then Laswell is accused of witchcraft and St. Ives’s own wife is arrested, and he has extra incentive to find the truth quickly. Blaylock’s industrial Victorian setting is home to a host of intriguing characters, and their tangled motivations, along with the suspicion of otherworldly involvement, keep the sometimes meandering story moving. —Publisher's Weekly
