A more limited view, from the front of the latest graphic novel shows everything published to that point, without the short stories. As previously stated, Action at a Distance would probably be better read directly after Lies Sleeping, rather than as a starting point for the series.

Could there be a link between these cases? And if there is, why did it happen in the less desirable part of town, South of the River Thames? What on earth possessed me to read this zany book? I actually think that I must have had a brainstorm.

The protagonists of this tenth story are Chelsea and Olympia, demi-goddesses, daughters of the goddess of the Thames Beverly. They are twins, very close, troublemakers and a little spoiled. The story centres around a series of apparently haunted cars which have been causing some major problems. But just how does a car end up being haunted and how do you arrest a car? It's a short story and played even more for humour than the novels but it's still a decent tale. Meet Peter Grant, an aspiring officer in London’s Metropolitan Police, eager to become a detective. But fate veers him off-course into the Case Progression Unit, a quiet division. Frank Caffrey; LFB ( London Fire Brigade) Fire Investigator, ex- para and a key "associate" of the Folly.Illustrations from a mysterious book of fairy tales drawn in the late 1800s are coming to life in the 21st Century and causing havoc.

Here, a disconcerting vanishing act concerning local children unravels, shrouded in police denial of supernatural involvement. The urban mettle that defines Grant remains steadfast, even in rural areas. I'm a huge fan of this series, and it was cool to see it presented in graphic novel format. I enjoyed seeing the depictions of the characters, and I especially enjoyed the fact that this story focused more on characters other than Peter and Nightingale, even though I do love them and their stories.

Clues of the supernatural clung to the murder weapon. Surprisingly, the victim had ties to a US senator, drawing FBI agent Kimberley Reynolds and her strong beliefs into the case. Amid London’s hidden tunnels and remnants of the past, strange sounds emerged… Before publishing Midnight Riot, the author gave it the work title Magic Cops. It would have been a TV story, however, after he watched the new (at the time) Dresden Files TV show by SciFi, he realized that the two characters are very similar, so he put the TV idea aside. Maybe this is a thing in today's graphic novels but I was getting confused enough with the jumping from the past to the present to a different time in the past, etc. that having panels with no dialogue didn't help me, anyway. Winter's Gifts is a novella set after Lies Sleeping, [10] published in June 2023. It follows FBI Agent Kimberley Reynolds, introduced in Whispers Underground, who has subsequently become an ally of the Folly.
