There have been ghosts on the London Underground, sad, harmless specters whose presence does little more than give a frisson to traveling and boost tourism. But now there's a rash of sightings on the Metropolitan Line and these ghosts are frightening, aggressive, and seem to be looking for something. Enter PC Peter Grant, junior member of the Metropolitan Police's Special Assessment Unit, AKA The Folly, AKA the only police officers whose official duties include ghost hunting. Together with Jaget Kumar, his counterpart at the British Transport Police, he must brave the terrifying crush of London's rush hour to find the source of the ghosts. Joined by Peter's wannabe wizard cousin, a preschool river god, and Toby the ghost hunting dog, their investigation takes a darker tone as they realize that a real person's life might just be on the line. And time is running out to save them.… (lisätietoja)
An entertaining but brief ghost story with Peter Grant and Nightingale investigating a set of mysterious ghost sightings on the Metro. A new river is introduced, Chess,who is being raised by an oblivious elderly couple.
Passangers on the Metropolitan line have been encountering ghosts but forgetting the encounters almost immediately afterwards. When Peter Grant starts to investigate, the trail takes him to Chesham and to the site of an old vicarage. ( )

No doubt all the microorganisms and miniature water life that Bev says are so vital for a healthy river we’re sucking up nutrients to their hearts’ content befor becoming snacks for the next organism in the great chain of life. Although ev says it’s more of a web, shunting various forms of energy around the ecosystem. Waving the gauntlet of self-organizing complexity in the face of entropy itself.
