A cunning and ruthless Queenpin of crime, known only as the Hoodette, is ruling London’s waterways, distributing a powerful, magically-produced drug called werelight weed. Her dealers are terrified of her, and that’s because the Hoodette is unafraid to get her hands dirty, as both goblin girl Lana Blanding and posh dealer Reuel McBeene-Smith have discovered – the hard way. Having apprehended two of her henchmen, Detective Constable Peter Grant and DCI Thomas Nightingale are getting ever closer to uncovering the Hoodette’s identity and the source of the drug. With the pressure mounting, the Hoddette knows she needs to tie up loose ends to get the police off her track. Now, her already-dirty hands are about to become positively bloodsoaked.

The Special Assessment Unit. Sounds innocuous enough. But when you hear this unit of London’s Metropolitan Police investigates the class of crimes codenamed ‘Falcon’, your ears might prick up. Dig a little deeper, and you might discover words like ‘wizard’ and ‘magic’ and ‘little crocodiles’. Your conclusion might be that someone is taking the piss. But perhaps the investigations by Detective Constable Peter Grant – newly promoted cop and trainee wizard – and his colleagues at the Folly (HQ of SAU) – really are conducted in the shadowy infraworld of London’s mythological past – and present. Among Peter’s associates are the Rivers of London – the ancient gods and goddesses of the capital’s waterways (one of them is also his girlfriend, Beverley) who, while often helpful, also skirt that fine line between good and, er, not so good. ‘Rivers of London: Water Weed’ takes place after the events of ‘The Hanging Tree’ and ‘Cry Fox’.

Detective Inspector Peter Grant was right to believe there was something off about the mysterious new drug doing the rounds at parties. Goblin girl, Lana Blanding, confirmed it to be “werelight weed”, seemingly grown by magic. That’s as much information as Lana was willing to part with for free. Clever girl, Lana – but not clever enough to know that working both sides would land her in hospital. The werelight weed is being distributed by boat along the Thames, but the main source is still unknown. What Peter does know, however, is that there is an office in Teddington which acts as a staging area for distributing the drugs. He also knows that the dealers are scared shitless of their supplier: a woman covered in face tattoos known as the Hoodette.

There’s a disturbing new drug on the streets of London. An unusual and powerful weed, branded with a distinctive logo of a woman’s face covered in tattoos. With strange, vestigia-like side effects for the magically inclined, Detective Peter Grant and DCI Thomas Nightingale are on the case. Using the Thames as a handy link for delivering drugs to buyers might seem like a good idea, but two unfortunate dealers caught the attention of young water goddesses, namely Chelsea and Olympia, who used their powers to steal time for themselves (of course). But in doing so, they’ve provoked the anger of the mastermind behind the cartel. Having already apprehended her two unwitting goons in Bev’s back garden, our heroes are now in the firing line for her escalating campaign of revenge.
