He used to be in a band with Peter Capaldi, who is currently playing Doctor Who. 4. He’s voiced a number […]
Is there such a thing as a jazz vampire?
This is the second book in the books about DC Peter Grant and as such, this review may contain certain spoilers for book one, Rivers of London. That’s the book you want to start with.
