A WHOLE NEW REASON TO MIND THE GAP

It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher--and the victims wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder. The trouble is, the bottom--if it exists at all--is deeper and more unnatural than anyone suspects . . . except, that is, for London constable and sorcerers apprentice Peter Grant. With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as "the Faceless Man," its up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and--as of now--deadliest subway system in the world.

At least he wont be alone. No, the FBI has sent over a crack agent to help. Shes young, ambitious, beautiful . . . and a born-again Christian apt to view any magic as the work of the devil. Oh yeah--thats going to go well.
