About this listen

When the victim is fifteen centimetres tall and has wings, even a hardened detective knows this case won't follow the rules.

Inspector Nick Paris believes in facts, not fairytales. But when a murdered fairy turns up in the middle of Manchester, he's dragged into a hidden world of magic, mayhem, and mythical creatures with attitude problems. Soon he's sheltering dwarves, dodging demons, and trying not to take career advice from a chain-smoking, talking crow.

As the barriers between realms begin to crumble, Nick must face the unthinkable: magic is real – and it's seriously messing with his city.

A darkly comic, fast-paced mystery where urban grit meets the supernatural – perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch and Benedict Jacka.

British author Andy Redsmith is best known for his Inspector Paris Mystery series, which blends comic fantasy with crime-solving intrigue. Drawing inspiration from his love of classic detective stories and quirky humour, Andy crafts fast-paced adventures filled with magical mayhem and unforgettable characters.
