PAUL CORNELL is a British writer best known for his work in television drama, most notably for Doctor Who. Three of his Doctor Who episodes have been nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. He has written several Doctor Who spin-off novels, and created the character Beatrice Summerfield. He has also written for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, and had two original novels published.
Detective Inspector Quill’s special squad is dedicated to “standing against the powers of darkness,” though they are careful not to advertise that mission to those unaware of London’s occult underbelly. This makes for some tricky operations in this sequel to London Calling (2013), as Quill and his team must continually justify their unorthodox investigation into a series of impossible Ripper-style murders. An impending police strike and a string of political riots obscure the case’s true nature; the only certainty is that although the Sight might let them see danger approaching, it doesn’t protect them from it. Cornell brings a dry, understated wit to this supernatural crime procedural without lessening the impact of its graphic violence and horror, though repeat cameos by Neil Gaiman may distract from its verisimilitude. Cornell better differentiates his four troubled narrators as their personal story lines diverge: Ross and Costain are in competition to acquire a rare magical device, Sefton is haunted by accidentally causing a death, and Quill’s own research takes him all the way to hell for answers. This series has endless potential, and new readers can confidently start with either volume. --Krista Hutley
