Body and Soul. The song. That's what London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant first notices when he examines the corpse of Cyrus Wilkins, part-time jazz drummer and full-time accountant, who dropped dead of a heart attack while playing a gig at Soho's 606 Club. A sure sign that something about the man's death was not at all natural. With the help of his superior officer, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, and the assistance of beautiful jazz aficionado Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter will uncover a deadly magical menace--one that leads right to his own doorstep and to the squandered promise of a young jazz musician: a talented trumpet player named Richard "Lord" Grant--otherwise known as Peter's dear old dad.

Another great book delving into the secret world of oddity, weirdness and the supernatural. I love the fast pace and quick turns in the plot that make you think twice, also the historical aspect of Bens storyline, giving factual background to the publications of authors of the past who try to answer questions of strange events, magical phenomenon and historical documents and dictionaries. Clever work and such a wealth of interesting facts on the subject. Great read or should say listen!! Thank you
