The Hanging Tree by Ben Aaronovitch

adventurous funny mysterious tense

5.0

I've reached the limit of my binge, as determined by the library loan system, but in this one the simmering battle with the Faceless Man escalates after the drug-related death of a young woman involves the daughter of one of the Rivers, to whom Peter owes a big favour, said favour being called in to keep said daughter out of it. Peter being very much a lateral operator, nonethelss does his best, but there's a whole can of worms and murders let loose involving stolen magical books and artefacts and teams of US intelligence contractors running around and getting in the way.
