About this listen

There's something going bump on the Metropolitan line, and Sergeant Jaget Kumar knows exactly whom to call.

It's PC Peter Grant's specialty....

Only it's more than going 'bump'. Traumatised travellers have been reporting strange encounters on their morning commute, with strangely dressed people trying to deliver an urgent message. Stranger still, despite calling the police themselves, within a few minutes the commuters have already forgotten the encounter - making the follow-up interviews rather difficult.

So with a little help from Abigail and Toby the ghost hunting dog, Peter and Jaget are heading out on a ghost hunting expedition.

Because finding the ghosts and deciphering their urgent message might just be a matter of life and death.

Critic reviews

"The Hanging Tree is definitely one of the best in the Grant/Aaronovitch pantheon. There again, so have most of the previous books in the series and the odds are the next one probably will be too." (The Bookbag)

"Aaronovitch deftly balances urban fantasy with the police procedural. As for Grant, he's a wonderful blend of laconic copper and, methodically researching how magic works, full-on nerd." (Crime Scene)

"This series is brilliant!" (Teen Librarian)

I love this series for so many reasons, Peter Grant, as voiced by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, is one of the main reasons! But Ben Aaronovitch's pure understanding of Londoners, is another!

In this novella I loved his Daily Mail quip, his Agatha Christie musing and his reminder to us that Molly is... Molly! I can't wait for the next full length story. I hope Peter gets it!

When ghosts are causing havoc on the underground Peter and Abigail start a very intriguing investigation to save a damsel in distress ! Although this is a shorter book the story is just as enthralling as the others ! Abigail has talents all of her own ask any fox !

Ghosts to the rescue
