The ghost of Sherlock Holmes is dead, but who will solve his murder? The Great Detective's ghost has walked London's streets for an age, given shape by people's memories. Now someone's put a ceremonial dagger through his chest. But what's the motive? And who - or what - could kill a ghost? When policing London's supernatural underworld, eliminating the impossible is not an option. DI James Quill and his detectives have learnt this the hard way. Gifted with the Sight, they'll pursue a criminal genius - who'll lure them into a Sherlockian maze of clues and evidence. The team also have their own demons to fight. They've been to hell and back (literally), but now the unit is falling apart....

Another enjoyable read in the series. But hard to describe when you don't want to give away any of the surprises.This isn't an easy series for me to read. It's thick with confusion, fear, uncertainty, self doubt, and a whole lot of other things that make it multi-leveled and complicated. Each of the main characters that make up the Shadow Police has a full history, and complicated present, that they all try to deal with individually and as a team. That makes for a complicates story right there. But add to the bundle a paranormal mystery dealing with a fictional character, and seemingly unconnected clues and THEN add the London version of Hell hovering over everyone, it's a wonder they don't all go insane.Or maybe they all already are, a bit, insane. They're still new and just learning how to work with the strange paranormal world that is London. And it's kind of scary to go along with them.
This book is great for fans of BBC police dramas. The first 80% of the story, nothing goes right for our protagonists. Then they catch a break and work out the case at the end. It's grim, I won't lie to you. I like all of these characters, I am invested in them, I WORRY about them! It's hard to see them so unhappy! But I have confidence that they will break the case and catch the criminal by the end.If you like Luther, or Prime Suspect, or The Fall, I highly recommend this series.
These novels are true "page turners" and this latest offering is no exception. Cornell paints a layered picture of London and makes us feel the weight of the years and the experiences. I got a real connection to his characters.
I read the first two shadow police books and thoroughly enjoyed both. i liked The concept, The characters and The tension. This book was too similar to The precious books for me. I could n't get into The book in this case. A little disappointed.
Story develops in some big leaps, but sidetracks in some weird devices. This is a great series - well written and fast paced. The characters are realistic, even the non-real ones.
I love these Shadow Police books. They are dark, amazing, complicated and wonderful. I can get lost in these books. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you, Paul Cornell!
This, the third book in the series, met all my expectations. Well written, great characters, lots of twists and turns. Looking forward to the next in the series.
Excellent middle chapter to the Shadow Police series, can't wait for the next installment.
