One of those weird books or rather book series that comes along and it makes you think about how the Gods of the past deal with the present.

Don't get me wrong, the book is more about police work and especially the odd cases. Yet to everyone's surprise it turns out that Scotland Yard has a division that deals with the supernatural, the ghosts, the vampires and especially the Gods and their territorial disputes.

Read the books in order, as it really helps with character development and background stories.

Triggers: violence, supernatural violence, pranks by Gods and sadly, a slew of bodies dead from mysterious causes.

Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he will face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic.
