| Condition Notes |
Good reading copy with noticeable but primarily cosmetic exterior wear. The bright yellow front cover shows rubbing, scratches and scattered finish loss, particularly across the upper-left area and along the edges. Corners show moderate wear, and there are several small surface creases and scuffs. The back has similar rubbing and scratching, with edge and corner wear and some discoloration/soiling visible against the light-colored map design.
The book remains intact and attractive enough for store inventory. Overall Good, with the highly visible surface wear preventing a Very Good grade. |

Apprentice wizard and London police constable Peter Grant is juggling several strange cases: a mutilated body in Crawley, a town planner killed by a Tube train and a stolen magical grimoire.
The investigations begin converging on Skygarden, an unusual housing estate in Elephant and Castle. As Peter and Lesley investigate, connections emerge involving the mysterious Faceless Man, London’s supernatural inhabitants and a threat buried within the city’s architecture itself.
Broken Homes is a clever mixture of urban fantasy, British police procedural and supernatural mystery. Ben Aaronovitch’s London is as important to the story as its characters, blending real neighborhoods, architecture and police work with wizards, river spirits and magical crimes.
This is particularly useful EugeneBookStore inventory because the Rivers of London series has a strong continuing readership, and this is an identifiable numbered volume rather than a standalone fantasy paperback.
