Peter Grant, having become the first English apprentice wizard in fifty years, must immediately deal with two different but ultimately inter-related cases. In one he must find what is possessing ordinary people and turning them into vicious killers, and in the second he must broker a peace between the two warring gods of the River Thames.

An all new adventure for Ben Aaronovitch's Iaconic way-post-cool but slightly geeky trainee wizard and budding detective Peter Grant; Tying directly into the Rivers of London continuity, Body Work is set between Broken Homes and Foxglove Summer; Aaronovitch is joined by Doctor Who writer, Andrew Cartmel, for this gripping new series.
