In London, the past is never dead. It only lies sleeping... Martin Chorley - aka the Faceless Man - wanted for multiple counts of murder, fraud and crimes against humanity, has been unmasked and is on the run. Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring Chorley to justice.

I’m not sure if I missed it, but I really would like to know what Chorley expected to happen if his plan had succeeded? …

Review of 'Lies Sleeping' on 'Goodreads'

Another fun book in this series, and while I was afraid it could be the last, there's at least one more to look forward to, and maybe finally learn the entire story of Molly?
