Lies Sleeping

In the gripping seventh installment of the Rivers of London series, 'Lies Sleeping' plunges Detective Constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant into a desperate hunt for Martin Chorley, the infamous Faceless Man. Wanted for a litany of heinous crimes, Chorley is on the run, but Peter quickly uncovers disturbing clues suggesting his escape is merely the final act of a deeply entrenched, millennia-old plan. This scheme, rooted in London's bloody two-thousand-year history, threatens to bring the city to its knees. To thwart this ancient menace and save his beloved home, Peter must forge uneasy alliances. He'll need the help of his former friend and colleague, Lesley May, who brutally betrayed him. Even more daunting, Peter might have to confront and potentially cooperate with the malevolent, chaotic supernatural entity known only as Mr. Punch. The clock is ticking as Peter races against time and a foe whose influence spans centuries, risking everything to prevent London's ultimate downfall.
