This event starts with a Brave New Words reading from C.F. Barrington
In Ben Aaronovitch's police procedural series Rivers of London, it is usually Peter Grant and his boss Thomas Nightingale that investigate supernatural goings-on in London. In his latest novella, What Abigail Did That Summer, Peter's cousin Abigail sets out to solve the mystery of teenagers going missing around Hampstead Heath, with the help of some talking foxes.
Supernatural crimes are also at the centre of C.S. Green's new novel Sleep Tight, the first in the Rose Gifford series. When DC Rose Gifford is called to investigate the death of a young woman suffocated in her bed, she can't shake the feeling that there's more to the crime than meets the eye. Enter DS Moony - an eccentric older detective who runs UCIT, a secret department of the Met set up to solve supernatural crimes. Moony wants Rose to help her out - but Rose doesn't believe in any of that.
