Muž bez tváře, pachatel mnoha vražd, podvodů a zločinů proti lidskosti, byl demaskován a je na útěku. Peter Grant, londýnský detektiv a čarodějnický učeň, nyní hraje klíčovou roli v bezprecedentní operaci bezpečnostních sil, která má Muže bez tváře dostat před soud. Peter mezitím zjišťuje, že Muž bez tváře není ještě ani zdaleka vyřízený a uskutečňuje poslední kroky jistého dlouhodobého plánu. Plánu, který má kořeny v dvoutisícileté londýnské historii a který může město na Temži doslova srazit na kolena. Aby svou milovanou metropoli zachránil, bude Peter potřebovat pomoc své bývalé nejlepší kamarádky a kolegyně Leslie Mayové, která ho však už jednou zradila. A mnohem horší je, že se snad dokonce bude muset spojit se zlovolným nadpřirozeným zabijákem a agentem chaosu známým pod jménem Punch…

Now in paperback, the eighth book of the bestselling Rivers of London series returns to the adventures of Peter Grant, detective and apprentice wizard, as he solves magical crimes in the city of London. Peter Grant is facing fatherhood, and an uncertain future, with equal amounts of panic and enthusiasm. Rather than sit around, he takes a job with émigré Silicon Valley tech genius Terrence Skinner's brand new London start up-the Serious Cybernetics Company. Drawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is. Compared to his last job, Peter thinks it should be a doddle. But magic is not finished with Mama Grant's favourite son. Because Terrence Skinner has a secret hidden in the bowels of the SCC. A technology that stretches back to Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, and forward to the future of artificial intelligence. A secret that is just as magical as it technological-and just as dangerous.

Na lince Metropolitan se začínají dít divné věci. Vyděšení cestující volají na tísňovou linku, že byli v tlačenici napadeni zvláštně oděnými lidmi, kteří se jim pokoušeli předat naléhavý vzkaz... Oběti útoků však při dalším dotazování nejsou schopny policii vysvětlit, o co přesně šlo, a během chvíle se jim střet vykouří z hlavy. Seržant Jaget Kumar, příslušník dopravní policie známý ze Šepotu v podzemí, se promptně obrací na Petera Granta, protože případy vykazují neklamné znaky působení nadpřirozených sil. Zjistit, co jsou oni duchové zač a proč zasévají takový zmatek mezi nevinné Londýňany, se Peterovi pokusí jeho mladičká a magicky nadaná sestřenice Abigail, věrný pes Toby a samozřejmě inspektor Nightingale coby klidná síla v pozadí. Vyšetřování se z metra záhy přenese na zdánlivě idylická londýnská předměstí, která se opět ukážou být semeništěm podivností, nad nimiž zůstává rozum stát a při nichž tuhne krev v žilách.

Tentokrát to začne mrtvým tělem na konci stanice metra Baker Street, vším, co zůstalo po americkém studentovi Jamesi Gallagherovi. Jeho zámožná a politicky vlivná rodina se chce pochopitelně dostat této hrůzné vraždě na kloub, potíž však tkví v tom, že Jamesova smrt představuje ještě větší a nepřirozenější záhadu, než kdo vůbec tuší… tedy kromě londýnského konstábla a čarodějova učně Petera Granta. Jelikož je inspektor Nightingale, poslední oficiální čaroděj v Anglii, zaneprázdněn pátráním po nevyzpytatelném kouzelníkovi známém také jako Muž bez tváře, je pouze na Peterovi, aby začal zkoumat strašidelné hlubiny nejstarší, největší a nyní i nejvražednější podzemní dráhy na světě. Ovšem nebude na to sám. Kdepak, FBI mu posílá pomocnici. Mladou, ctižádostivou, krásnou křesťanku, která má sklony vnímat veškerá kouzla jako dílo ďáblovo. No, to tedy bude…

Když se ve vesnici Rushpool v západní Anglii začnou pohřešovat dvě jedenáctileté dívky, konstábl Peter Grant musí vytáhnout paty z Londýna, aby zjistil, jestli se na jejich zmizení nepodílelo něco nadpřirozeného. Jde o rutinní opatření a Nightingale je přesvědčený, že Peter bude mít v případu do večera jasno. Jenže Peter lidi v nesnázích nikdy neopouští, takže i když neobjeví žádné zjevné stopy po magických aktivitách, nabídne místnímu policejnímu sboru své služby, neboť ví, že při pátrání po nezvěstných je potřeba každé volné ruky. Netrvá však dlouho a ocitá se ve zběsilém závodě s časem, ve světě, kde hranice mezi realitou a světem skřítků a víl nikdy nebyly prostupnější... Britský scénárista a spisovatel. V osmdesátých letech se prosadil jako scénárista slavného britského seriálu televize BBC Doctor Who nebo levné space opery Jupiter Moon. V devadesátých letech začal publikovat také romány z řady Doctor Who: Remembrance of the Daleks (1990), Transit (1992), The Also People (1995) a So Vile a Sin (1997). Poté začala jeho literární kariéra upadat, proto nastoupil do sítě britských knihkupectví Waterstones. Tento krok se později ukázal jako ideální příležitost pro psaní vlastních příběhů a tak vznikla již zmiňovaná úspěšná knižní série.

Jedné noci jsem se ale při vyšetřování jisté vraždy pokusil získat svědeckou výpověď od muže, který byl sice mrtvý, ale jinak znepokojivě výřečný, což mi zajistilo pozornost vrchního inspektora Nightingalea, posledního čaroděje Anglie.

The first of the Sunday Times Bestselling Peter Grant seriesMy 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 (and 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. 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.

eter Grant is not just a lowly Detective Constable, he's also apprenticed to the last wizard in Britain: policing will never be the same again!I was my dad's vinyl-wallah: I changed his records while he lounged around drinking tea, and that's how I know my Argo from my Tempo. And it's why, when Dr Walid called me to the morgue to listen to a corpse, I recognised the tune it was playing. Something violently supernatural had happened to the victim, strong enough to leave its imprint like a wax cylinder recording. Cyrus Wilkinson, part-time jazz saxophonist and full-time accountant, had apparently dropped dead of a heart attack just after finishing a gig in a Soho jazz club. He wasn't the first. No one was going to let me exhume corpses to see if they were playing my tune, so it was back to old-fashioned legwork, starting in Soho, the heart of the scene. I didn't trust the lovely Simone, Cyrus' ex-lover, professional jazz kitten and as inviting as a Rubens' portrait, but I needed her help: there were monsters stalking Soho, creatures feeding off that special gift that separates the great musician from someone who can raise a decent tune. What they take is beauty. What they leave behind is sickness, failure and broken lives.

Dominantní narativ o rasových vztazích v USA dnes říká, že hlavní nebezpečí pro životy černochů představuje bělošský rasismus, zejména násilnický a rasistický rasismus policistů. Podle tohoto názoru je Amerika beznadějně rasistický národ. Vznikla organizace Black Lives Matter (BLM), která vede protesty a dokonce i nepokoje v reakci na případy, kdy běloch, zejména policista, zabije černocha. Kniha Taleeba Starkese Black Lies Matter: Proč jsou lži důležité pro průmysl rasových stížností, je odvážným, prozíravým a pravdivým popisem narůstajících rasových konfliktů a její zásadní poselství má význam pro život nebo smrt. Jeden z nejpoutavějších bodů knihy - podložený množstvím důkazů - se týká toho, co je zdaleka nejvážnějším nebezpečím pro životy černých Američanů: černošští grázlové. Tvrdá data jsou ohromující a děsivá zároveň: Černoši, kteří tvoří 13 procent obyvatel USA, zabijí 90 procent černošských obětí vražd. Běloši, Asiaté a Latinoameričané, kteří tvoří 87 % populace, zabijí 10 % černošských obětí vražd. Již tento bod sám o sobě stačí k vyvrácení tvrzení, že rasističtí běloši jsou dominantní hrozbou pro životy černých Američanů. Je to ještě horší. Starkes píše: \"Čísla vypovídají jen část příběhu této převážně městské války, kde se oběti [až] nápadně podobají svým vrahům\".

Kdybych matce řekla, že na to nemám čas, tak se mnou už v životě nepromluví!Podobná prohlášení důvěrně znají mnozí z nás. Potýkají se s kulturně podmíněným vzorcem chování, kvůli němuž jsou přesvědčeni, že musejí za každých okolností všem vycházet vstříc na úkor vlastních potřeb. To vede k pocitům úzkosti, ztráty identity, k potlačovanému vzteku a někdy i k vyhoření. Kniha odlehčeným, zábavným způsobem pomocí nově vytvořené humorné terminologie uvažuje o příčinách tohoto postoje a nabízí řešení spočívající v různých aspektech respektování vlastních hranic a potřeb. Zabývá se důvody, proč je tak obtížné něco odmítnout, zejména blízkým osobám, tělesnými projevy odmítnutí a spouštěči tohoto rozpoložení. Analyzuje různé druhy „ne“ a jednotlivé oblasti, v nichž je potřeba jednoznačně odmítnout. Jedná se například o vymezení vůči dětem, žadatelům o finanční příspěvek, rodičům, bývalým partnerům, sousedům, přátelům nebo zvířatům.
