Live in Rivers of London freeYou begin as
A probationary constable in the Metropolitan Police, fresh from training and about to be posted to the Case Progression Unit, where paperwork goes to die.
The streets of London are older than anyone remembers, and the dead do not always stay quiet. When a probationary constable guarding a murder scene in Covent Garden takes a statement from a witness who turns out to be a ghost, he is pulled into a hidden world of river gods, forgotten magic, and the Metropolitan Police's last wizard. The city's rivers have their own gods and their own politics, and somewhere in the dark, someone is using magic for murder.

Ways your story could start
- You are on the cordon at a murder scene in Covent Garden with Peter Grant, and he wanders off to take a statement from a witness nobody else can see.
- A tall man in an old-fashioned suit asks you, very politely, whether Constable Grant is the sort of officer who keeps his mind open.
- A river goddess wants a word with the Met's wizard about her quarrel with Father Thames, and you are the one who answers the phone.
- Somebody reports a nest of something in an empty house out in the suburbs, and Nightingale wants a constable who doesn't scare easily.
- In the street a man suddenly goes for a stranger, screaming, and for a second his face looks wrong, like a puppet's.
