First published 2012
Peter Grant thought his ghost hunt in the Tufnell Park railway tunnels was over. His cousin Abigail Kamara had dragged him and colleague Lesley May through the wet, dangerous tracks near King's Cross to find a spirit, and they did. Case closed. Then Monday arrives with a new problem. Someone has stabbed a victim to death on the Baker Street Underground tracks. The weapon carries magical traces, making this Peter's kind of case. The dead man turns out to be a US senator's son, which brings FBI agent Kimberley Reynolds and her religious convictions into Peter's investigation. Now Peter must navigate both an international incident and the dark Tube tunnels beneath London. Among the buried rivers and Victorian sewers, he hears disturbing sounds that suggest something more dangerous lurks in the underground darkness.
