  • Le dernier apprenti sorcier (Tome 7) - Peur sur la ligne

     
    Comme tous les matins, vous prenez votre métro ou votre train de banlieue pour gagner le centre-ville de Londres où vous attend une rude journée de travail. L’attente, les bousculades, la morosité des autres voyageurs sont votre lot quotidien. Même l’occasionnel illuminé qui braille et gesticule ne vous émeut plus. Mais là, c’est différent : qui sont ces étranges personnages vêtus de façon anachronique qui, tous, essaient de vous communiquer un message urgent? Le plus curieux, c’est que vous oubliez presque aussitôt leur existence... Hum, de quoi parle-t-on déjà? Aucun doute, cela relève du domaine de compétence de l’agent Peter Grant, pour l’occasion accompagné d’une stagiaire encombrante et d’un chien détecteur de fantômes à la fiabilité toute relative... Peur sur la ligne est une aventure indépendante, qui se situe chronologiquement entre les tomes cinq et six du Dernier apprenti sorcier.

  • Le dernier apprenti sorcier (Tome 6) - L'Arbre des pendus

     
    À l’emplacement actuel de Marble Arch, à Londres, se dressait jadis la tristement célèbre potence de Tyburn, surnommée l’arbre des pendus, où l’on exécutait les criminels les plus notoires du royaume. William Wallace ou Olivier Cromwell y auraient connu une fin funeste. Mais aujourd’hui, les riches demeures d’Oxford Street et de Mayfair, situées là où les condamnés faisaient leurs derniers pas, sont le théâtre d’événements pour le moins étranges. Peter Grant, agent de la Police Métropolitaine de Londres et dernier apprenti sorcier du royaume, mène une nouvelle fois l’enquête...

Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring Chorley to justice.

A plan that has its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees. To save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in.

My name is Peter Grant, and I used to be a probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service, and to everyone else as the Filth.
