Nel parco giochi del complesso di case popolari di Hobfield, nel nord dell'Inghilterra, viene fatta una macabra scoperta: un sacchetto con delle dita mozzate, roba da impressionare anche il più navigato tra gli investigatori. Ma i due detective a cui è stato affidato il caso, l'ispettore Tom Calladine e il sergente Ruth Bayliss, non hanno tempo per la paura, e devono mettersi sulle tracce dell'assassino prima che tutto il quartiere venga sopraffatto dalla violenza. Potrebbe trattarsi di un regolamento di conti inscenato dal boss della droga Ray Fallon, ma l'istinto suggerisce a Calladine che il caso che ha per le mani è qualcosa di molto peggio, qualcosa che non ha ancora un nome. Riusciranno i due detective a rintracciare l'assassino prima che qualcun altro venga ucciso e che la stampa dia notizia di altri crimini dai contorni raccapriccianti? Calladine, Bayliss e il resto della loro squadra battono con perizia tutte le piste, in una continua corsa contro il tempo, fino a ritrovarsi su un sentiero che passa pericolosamente vicino a casa...

A Darker Shade of Magic, from #1 New York Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black. Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive. "A Darker Shade of Magic has all the hallmarks of a classic work of fantasy. Schwab has given us a gem of a tale...This is a book to treasure."—Deborah Harkeness, New York Times bestselling author of the All Souls trilogy Shades of Magic series 1. A Darker Shade of Magic 2.
