I want to recommend to you the novel “Rivers of London” (In USA “Midnight Riot”).
It’s “Urban Fantasy”, namely about a magic cop in the contemporary England. The main protagonist is Peter Grant, a black cop. He is the apprentice of Nightingale, the only legal magician in England.
This is one of my favorite series in the last 10 years. In particular I love the audio book version narrated by Kobna Holbrook-Smith. It really elevates an already great series.
I have read every one of the books in the series. I really enjoy them.
Does anyone know about future books? Is there a known plan for the series?
Does anyone have an idea why the US has a different title ? The book is set in London and the rivers of London play a role. The UK title seems all right. Is there some cultural background between US and UK that could explain this ? Does it happen more often that nooks have different names in the US and UK?
I guess the US title is different because the editor feared that the Americans might ignore a book about London or even worse a book about rivers in London (“How boring”). I can assure anybody these books aren’t boring. They are similar to Harry Dresden books (not as crazy and not as much action as H. Dresden, but nearly). [EDIT: Ok, it has enough action to even top Harry Dresden.]
