Oh, and I’d better mention Toby, a dog of no discernible pedigree who has the occasional ability to sniff out demonic doings, though his real strengths are cadging food and snoozing. She looks after the Folly, our heroes’ home base in darkest Bloomsbury. Plus let’s not forget Molly (no last name, at least none I’m going to tell you), London’s most retro - and scariest - traditional house maid. On the squad there is also DC Sahra Guleed, who wears a hijab with more stylish flair than anyone else on a Murder Team, and who is still coming to terms with the fact that magic is real - and far from always benign. In this he has the help of Detective Inspector Thomas Nightingale, a man who is looking considerably - indeed, suspiciously - spry considering he was born in 1900. It is his sworn duty to uphold the Queen’s peace not only in the face of all the mundane crime that London can throw at him, but also all the supernatural crime… However, just in case some brave soul has got this far without knowing about Peter Grant, allow me to add that although he is police - as Peter would put it - he is rather unusual police. I am going to assume that you have some familiarity with the unfolding adventures of one Detective Constable Peter Grant - if not, the author’s photograph provided by my publicity people would almost inevitably have scared you away before reading these words.
