Rivers of London: Body Work #[nn]

A sleek black car with glowing headlights looms out of the darkness on this collected edition cover, its grille bearing an ominous star emblem while a trail of blood-red rivulets spreads across what appears to be a London street map below — an atmospheric setup for the "Body Work" story arc. Blending police procedural grit with something distinctly supernatural, Rivers of London arrives in 2016 with Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel at the helm, and Lee Sullivan delivering moody cover art that earns that pull-quote comparing it to "a perfect blend of CSI and Harry Potter." If you've ever wanted your crime fiction with a serious dose of the uncanny, this looks like exactly the right place to start.
