Magic meets metropolitan policing in False Value, the eighth instalment in Ben Aaronovitch's wildly inventive Rivers of London series, published in February 2020. Detective Constable Peter Grant, London's only officially sanctioned wizard cop, finds himself embedded undercover in a cutting-edge tech company — the Serious Cybernetics Corporation — tasked with uncovering a sinister conspiracy that threatens to merge the ancient world of the Folly with the bleeding edge of Silicon Valley ambition. Grant must navigate corporate espionage, digital intrigue, and supernatural threats while juggling a rather significant development in his personal life, all set against a brilliantly rendered contemporary London. Aaronovitch's trademark blend of razor-sharp wit, forensic procedural detail, and richly imagined folklore continues to distinguish this series as one of the most original in modern urban fantasy. His prose crackles with pop-culture references, genuine police procedural authenticity, and a sardonic humour that never undermines the genuine tension of the plot. Notably, this copy is signed by the author — a detail that will delight collectors and fans alike — and leaves the reader wondering just how deep the rabbit hole of magic and technology truly goes.
