Winter's Gifts, What Abigail Did That Summer, The October Man and The Furthest Station each deliver a complete, self-contained mystery packed with wit, magic and Aaronovitch's trademark blend of police procedure and the supernatural. Ideal for fans wanting the full picture between novels, or newcomers seeking a bite-sized introduction to this beloved urban fantasy series. About the Books This four-book paperback set gathers some of the most loved side-stories from the Rivers of London series. In The Furthest Station , PC Peter Grant teams up with British Transport Police Sergeant Jaget Kumar to investigate aggressive ghost sightings plaguing commuters on the Metropolitan Line, with Abigail Kamara and Toby the ghost-hunting dog along for the ride. What Abigail Did That Summer hands the spotlight to Peter's sharp-tongued teenage cousin Abigail, who - armed with a posse of talking foxes convinced they're spies - investigates mysterious teenage disappearances around Hampstead Heath while Peter is away in the countryside. The October Man crosses the Channel entirely, following Tobias Winter, Germany's own version of Peter Grant, as he unravels a case involving vineyards, rivers and old, old magic. Finally, Winter's Gifts follows FBI Agent Kimberley Reynolds, first introduced in Whispers Under Ground, as she investigates a very strange occurrence in small-town America, discovering that magic is not confined to London. Together, the four novellas broaden the scope of the Rivers of London world while keeping Aaronovitch's sharp humour, meticulous world-building and page-turning mystery plotting fully intact.
