Amongst Our Weapons: Book 9 in the #1 bestselling Rivers of London series (A Rivers of London novel)

Product Information

The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang]

That combination makes Aaronovitch’s books real gems, but should not be seen as an indication that the reader will be bored. The real joy of the series is its author’s ability to impart those pieces of obscure knowledge, subtly wrapped up within fight scenes, city centre car chases, and a decent grasp of what it takes of succeed in the realm of modern inner-city policing, from kit, through procedure, and a level of mental resilience that often doubles as grim good humour. Any one of those, in isolation, would make a Rivers of London novel worthy of consideration. Taken together, they make them a popular staple, and Amongst Our Weapons is no exception. Amongst Our Weapons will clearly appeal to the legions of Aaronovitch fans, but those unfamiliar with the series will find a playful mix of the supernatural and the historical within in an intriguing murder mystery.”—The Canberra TimesNight Witch - Russian Oligarch's daughter is kidnapped and he thinks kidnapping Nightwitch Varvara Sidorovna will help the situation.
