About “The Hanging Tree”

Police Constable Peter Grant is usually not involved in cases of suspicious deaths, especially not when they occur at an exclusive party in one of London's most expensive apartment buildings. However, the daughter of Lady Ty, an influential goddess of the Tyburn river, was present, and Peter owes her a favor. This puts him in the unusual position of investigating a case that involves both the supernatural and the super-rich. As he navigates this world, where basements are larger than the houses and the law is bought and sold, Peter risks alienating friends and making enemies. His task is to uncover the truth at the intersection of magic and privilege, all while trying to survive the week.
