PAUL CORNELL will be
launching THE SEVERED STREETS, at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Wednesday
21st May from 6 – 7pm.
It’s
Hell out there…
Detective Inspector James Quill and his wily squad of supernatural
crime-busters are coming to terms with their new-found second sight. They have
a handle on the ghosts and ghouls, but the rest of London's supernatural
underworld is still unknown. When a seemingly invisible murderer kills a top
cabinet minister in unusual circumstances, the team knows this is a case for
them.
Attempts to learn more about this mysterious figure are hampered
when their chief detective goes missing, and a core member of their team
becomes more focussed on bringing her father back to life than finding their
missing detective. Soon the team seems to be falling apart as each member
pursues their own interests. Throw in an ancient and vengeful spirit and a Rat
King, and their mission soon becomes a trip to Hell - literally.
Paul Cornell is a
writer of SF/F in prose, television and comics. He's written Wolverine for
Marvel, Superman and Batman for DC, and is the creator of Saucer Country for
Vertigo. The first book in the James Quill series, London Falling, is also
