Peter Grant

**Series Synopsis: Peter Grant** Step into a London where the rhythms of jazz intertwine with the pulse of the supernatural, where ancient magic and modern crime collide in a symphony of intrigue. In the heart of this mystical metropolis, Peter Grant, a rookie constable turned apprentice wizard, navigates the shadowy underbelly of a city steeped in folklore and danger. Haunted by a vision of a soul departed, Peter discovers a chilling pattern: a series of suspiciously "natural" deaths plaguing Soho’s vibrant jazz scene, each echoing with an otherworldly melody. Joined by the enigmatic DCI Thomas Nightingale, Britain's last official wizard, and the fiercely knowledgeable jazz devotee Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter is thrust into a race against time as he delves deeper into the murky waters of London’s magical criminal underworld.

As Peter confronts challenges that test his resolve and ability, the stakes climb higher, and the music grows ever more haunting. Will Peter decode the sinister harmonies before they silence the soulful rhythms of Soho forever? Join him in a quest where danger is always a beat away and magic is more than just a song.
