About This Book
"When two young girls go missing in rural Herefordshire, police constable Peter Grant has to leave London to check that nothing supernatural is involved. It's purely routine, Nightingale thinks he'll be done in less than a day. But Peter's never been one to walk away from someone in trouble, so when nothing overtly magical turns up he volunteers his services to the local police, who need all the help they can get.
