{"product_id":"moon-over-soho-ben-aaronovitch-paperback","title":"Moon Over Soho -- Ben Aaronovitch, Paperback","description":"My name is Peter Grant, and I'm a Police Constable in that mighty army for justice known as the Metropolitan Police (a.k.a. the Filth). I'm also an apprentice wizard, the first in fifty years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen your dad is an almost famous jazz trumpeter, you know the classics. And that's why, when Dr Walid called me down to the morgue to listen to a corpse, I recognized the tune it was playing as the jazz classic ' Body and Soul.' Something violently supernatural had happened to the victim, strong enough to leave its imprint on his corpse as if it were a wax cylinder recording. The former owner of the body, Cyrus Wilkinson, was a part-time jazz saxophonist and full-time accountant who had dropped dead of a heart attack just after finishing a gig. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe wasn't the first, but no one was going to let me exhume corpses just to see if they were playing my tune. So it was back to old-fashioned police legwork, starting in Soho, the heart of the scene, with the lovely Simone - Cyrus's ex-lover, professional jazz kitten and as inviting as a Rubens portrait - as my guide. And it didn't take me long to realise there were monsters stalking Soho, creatures feeding off that special gift that separates the great musician from someone who can raise a decent tune. What they take is beauty. What they leave behind is sickness, failure and broken lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Aaronovitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.70w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625676160","brand":"Ben Aaronovitch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67989064384740,"sku":"9781625676160","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781625676160.jpg?v=1793174574","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/moon-over-soho-ben-aaronovitch-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
