A Rivers of London novella from Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch.

When reports of strange occurrences on the Metropolitan Line come in, Sergeant Jaget Kumar knows exactly who to call—PC Peter Grant, the wizard detective. It seems that the daily commute has become anything but routine for some travellers, who've encountered unnervingly dressed figures attempting to communicate an urgent message. Eerily, these distressed commuters soon forget the incidents, complicating any follow-up investigation.

Teaming up with cohort Abigail and the ever-faithful ghost-hunting dog Toby, Peter embarks on a mysterious expedition to uncover the truth behind these spectral sightings. Unravelling the ghostly presence and decoding the urgent message it carries just might be crucial to saving lives.
