There is a world hidden underneath this great city.
The London Silver Vaults - for well over a century,the largest collection of silver for sale in the world. It has more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a celebrity punch-up.
Not somewhere you can murder someone and vanish without a trace - only that's what happened.
The disappearing act,the reports of a blinding flash of light and memory loss amongst the witnesses all make this a case for Detective Constable Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit.
Alongside their boss DCI Thomas Nightingale,the SAU find themselves embroiled in a mystery that encompasses London's tangled history,foreign lands and,most terrifying of all,the North!
And Peter must solve this case soon because back home his partner Beverley is expecting twins any day now. But what he doesn't know is that he's about to encounter something - and somebody - that nobody ever expects...

MEDIA REVIEWS
This gloriously eclectic mash-up of police investigation and supernatural insanity is as wise,witty and utterly absorbing as the rest of this glorious series.This might be Aaronovitch's greatest success yet. 5 stars!Aaronovitch has no peers (...) his plotting is still satisfyingly inventive and the continuing characters maintain their charm.Ben Aaronovitch has created a wonderful world full of mystery,magic and fantastic characters. I love being there more than the real London.Fresh and original and a wonderful read. I loved it.A charming,witty and exciting romp through a magical world not all that far from our own.
