THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED BRAND NEW NOVEL IN THE #1 BESTSELLING RIVERS OF LONDON SERIES

There is a world hidden underneath this great city...

The London Silver Vaults, boasting the world’s largest collection of silver for sale, is a fortress of security. With more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a celebrity punch-up, it's not the kind of place where crimes go unnoticed. Yet, a murder unfolds within its heavily guarded walls, and the killer vanishes without a trace.

When witnesses report a blinding flash of light and experience unexplained memory loss, Detective Constable Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit (SAU) are called to investigate. Teamed with his superior, DCI Thomas Nightingale, Peter finds himself embroiled in a mystery that stretches across London's convoluted history, distant lands, and, most daunting of all, the North!

As Peter delves deeper into the case, the urgency intensifies. His partner, Beverley, is expecting twins imminently, adding a personal deadline to his professional challenge. What Peter discovers pushes the boundaries of his expectations and the realm of the possible.

Effortlessly original, endlessly inventive, and hugely entertaining, step into the magically twisted and vividly realised world of the much-loved, Number One bestselling Rivers of London series.
