Ben Aaronovitch Book order (chronological)

Ein stürmischer Tag, ein totes Schaf, eine Menge Magie – Peter Grant is back! Der Fund eines toten Schafs mag in Schottland nicht sehr überraschend sein, aber dennoch deutet sehr viel an dieser Schaf-Geschichte auf magische Beteiligung hin. Und so beschließt Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, sich die Sache mal genauer anzuschauen. Sein inzwischen schon recht erfahrener »Zauberlehrling« Peter Grant macht sich ebenfalls auf ins stürmische Schottland. Doch als Vater von zweijährigen Zwillingen kann man schlecht allein reisen, also kommen alle mit: die Kinder, Beverley und zu allem Überfluss Peters Mutter, die sich als Babysitterin andient. Nach einer Erholungsreise klingt das nicht und prompt wartet in Schottland noch weit mehr als nur ein totes Schaf auf Peter ...

Za velkou louží na to jdou jinak… Když bývalý agent FBI Patrick Henderson nahlásí incident z ranku „X-Ray Sierra India“, operátorka nechápe, o čem je řeč. Henderson naléhá, aby vyrozumívala výše a výše postavené osoby, dokud se některá nechytí. Onou osobou je speciální agentka Kimberley Reynoldsová. Případu se ujme, a když následně přijede do zasněženého severního Wisconsinu, zjistí, že polovinu obce Eloise, kde Henderson žije, srovnalo se zemí tornádo a po bývalém agentovi není nikde ani stopy. A podivnosti neberou konce. Sousedé podávají svědectví o tom, co znepokojivého kde zahlédli, a přitom nepřestává hustě sněžit, až Eloise zůstane odříznuta od okolního světa… Když pak indicie stále více poukazují na jeden zamrzlý případ, zamrzlý tak, že zamrzlejší ani být nemůže – prokletou výpravu do mrazivých pustin –, Reynoldsová se vydá po stopách táhnoucích se od děsivé americké minulosti k hrůzám, které přežívají do dnešních dnů...

Enter his old friend Thomas Nightingale, who has braved the Atlantic passage pursuing the matter of a rather intriguing saxophone said to possess a strange power over those who play it. This deeply inconvenient affair will rouse Gussie from his warm bed for the cold shores of Long Island - and down to the jazz clubs of Harlem where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows.

Join Augustus Berrycloth-Young in 1920s New York City as he navigates the Jazz Age. His life takes a turn when old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives with a mysterious saxophone affair, leading Gussie on a thrilling journey through jazz clubs and unexpected adventures.

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collection: Eleven classic adventures. Eleven brilliant writers. One incredible Doctor.

Constable Peter Grant, a magician and keeper of the flame, must discover if a mutilated body found in Crawley is the work of a common serial killer or an associate of the evil wizard known as the Faceless Man.

Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And its just as well - he's already had run ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn't even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there's his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn't his fault, but still. Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it.

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 (and as the Filth to everybody else) ... One night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from someone who was dead but disturbingly voluable, bringing 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.

As Peter delves deeper into a series of similar deaths in Soho, he risks both body and soul to uncover the truth. With the guidance of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, and the support of jazz enthusiast Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter confronts a dangerous magical threat that connects to his own family. This investigation leads him to the untapped potential of a young trumpet player, Richard "Lord" Grant, who happens to be Peter's estranged father. The series has garnered acclaim for its captivating blend of mystery, magic, and memorable characters, appealing to fans of authors like Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. With over two million copies sold worldwide, it promises an imaginative and engaging reading experience.
