Ben Aaronovitch

    1 de febrero de 1964

    Ben Aaronovitch inició su andadura literaria escribiendo para Doctor Who, experimentando un periodo de calma a mitad de su carrera antes de resurgir con la exitosa serie Rivers of London. Profundamente conectado con su Londres natal, que considera inseparable de su identidad, su obra sumerge a los lectores en un mundo donde la magia se entrelaza con lo cotidiano. La escritura de Aaronovitch es célebre por su agudo ingenio, sus agudas observaciones de la vida urbana y la perfecta fusión de lo sobrenatural con lo familiar. Su singular voz narrativa da vida a la ciudad, convirtiéndola en un personaje propio.

      Es hora de llamar de nuevo al agente Peter Grant, el último mago de Gran Bretaña. Es Navidad, y Peter Grant recibe una llamada de la inspectora Stephanopoulos: debe investigar un asesinato en uno de los túneles del metro de Londres en Baker Street, un lugar tenebroso, húmedo y con un pasado muy oscuro. Todos los indicios apuntan a que una fuerza mágica ha intervenido en la muerte de la víctima, James Gallagher, hijo de un senador estadounidense. El FBI envía a la agente Kimberly Reynolds para colaborar en la investigación y Peter se verá obligado a ocultarle cualquier atisbo de magia. En las oscuras entrañas de la ciudad, plagadas de cloacas victorianas y ríos enterrados, resuenan los susurros de unos espíritus torturados que buscan venganza… «Las novelas de Aaronovitch son divertidas, encantadoras, ingeniosas y emocionantes, y dibujan un mundo mágico muy cerca del nuestro.» The Independent
