Publisher's Summary

THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED BRAND NEW NOVEL IN THE #1 BESTSELLING RIVERS OF LONDON SERIES

There is a world hidden underneath this great city....

The London Silver Vaults—for well over a century, the largest collection of silver for sale in the world. It has more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a celebrity punch-up.

Not somewhere you can murder someone and vanish without a trace—only that's what happened.

The disappearing act, the reports of a blinding flash of light and memory loss amongst the witnesses all make this a case for Detective Constable Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit.

Alongside their boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, the SAU find themselves embroiled in a mystery that encompasses London's tangled history, foreign lands and, most terrifying of all, the North!

And Peter must solve this case soon because back home, his partner, Beverley, is expecting twins any day now. But what he doesn't know is that he's about to encounter something—and somebody—that nobody ever expects....

Effortlessly original, endlessly inventive and hugely entertaining—step into the world of the much-loved, number one best-selling Rivers of London series.

Discover why this incredible series has sold over two million copies worldwide. If you're a fan of Terry Pratchett, you will love the imaginative, irreverent and all-round irresistible RIVERS OF LONDON books.

Angels and the Spanish Inquisition

Beautifully read by Kobna. It was such a pleasure to revisit these characters and meet new ones. The story is quite complicated and spans centuries. I have already listened to this twice. It won’t be the last time.

So so good need more Rivers o London

One of the very few audio books that the performance equals the writing. Totally immersive. The story throughout the series so far builds slowly as far as character development world expansion and threats. Definitely feel that if if there was a multiverse that book stories exist I would want to visit this one.

I would rate this a 6 if I could

I have been waiting and watching out for this wonderful next in the Rivers of London series throughout Covid, and it is completely worth it. Thank you Ben and Kobna. As I do after each new book, I will be listening to the entire series again!

Ben and Kobna do it again!

Kobna Holbrook Smith is the best narrator on Audible. Coupled with the funny, touching and down right weirdness of the Rivers of London crew, Amongst Our Weapons is a delight.

I only wish I could go back in time and listen to it for the first time again.

Thank you to B.A. and Kobna for existing on this plane. You make life so much better.

The best book yet of the Rivers of London series. Ben is back to magnificent form with Amongst Our Weapons, bringing back beloved characters, a great mystery and lots of supernatural drama. Loved it!
