London is Lydia Crow's city so when a man is found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge, she takes it personally.

Trouble is, Lydia has never been much good at taking orders. And London in a heatwave is a dangerous place to be... 'My favourite new urban fantasy series, clever and twisty and deliciously magical.'
