Foxglove Summer

In this gripping sequel, Peter is dispatched to the quiet village of Herefordshire, far from the hustle and bustle of London. The local police are baffled by the mysterious disappearance of two young girls, and there are whispers of a supernatural element that they're reluctant to confront. As Peter navigates this unfamiliar territory, he is joined by Beverley Brook, a river goddess and one of his closest allies.

The idyllic countryside holds dark secrets, and Peter soon finds himself up against local cops who are sceptical of his London ways and the existence of magic. Both he and Beverley must unearth the truth amidst ancient local legends, tricky gods, and a community that is not what it seems. To add to his challenges, Peter discovers that rural life operates on its own schedule, with shops closing early and a pace that's in sharp contrast to city life.
