Explications
Shrike58: The first book in an ongoing series of paranormal police procedural novels set in London. This is almost becoming a British specialty (see "The Laundry" series of Charles Stross) but I suggest this one to the reader due to the author's almost cinematic vision and having a nice balance between the human and the fantastic. This is not to mention that there is real character development as the series advances.

lordcharles: Any of the books in this series are fantastic, readable, frightening, honest,and enlightening. You can get lost in any of them. KING RAT is the hardest to read and one of the most necessary.
