    Summary

    'Was your father a wizard?' I asked.
    'Good Lord no,' said Nightingale. 'It was my Uncle Stanley who carried on the tradition in that generation - it was he who suggested that I attend Cosgrove Hall.'
    'He didn't have sons of his own?' I asked.
    'He never married,' said Nightingale.

    Broken Homes, chapter 2

    Summary

    “How are you feeling today?” Nightingale asked.

    “Fine, sir,” I said promptly, adhering to the principle that when any senior officer asks that question there’s really only one answer they want to hear.

    or: Peter struggles to recover from fairyland, and Nightingale keeps a careful eye on him.

    Summary

    Now, my first real effort at fighting off a genii locorum's influence in my head had been Lady Ty, and I'd blown up her fountain. Bev was maybe a friend, and I could do with getting through this with less of a diplomatic incident.

    Summary

    The ball of light turned an ominous shade of dark red, and I jumped slightly as the wave of vestigia hit me: a crowd of fans cheering for their team, a smell of stale sweat and spilled beer and clearest of all, that 1998 football fan song by Fat Les which I'd happily forgotten about until now.

    Summary

    … sneaking stealthily through the snow had reminded Nightingale of an operation in Tibet in 1938.

    ‘Chasing German archaeologists,’ he said. ‘Complete wild goose chase for them and for us.’


    (Whispers Under Ground, chapter 10)

    I'll be honest, I didn't see this coming.

    I blame the yaks.

    Chapter 1: How to get Nightingale on his way to Tibet in ~20,000 easy words.
    Chapter 2: Nightingale takes a trip, meets Indiana Jones at the end of it.
    Chapter 3: Capers.
    Intermission: Tibet, mid-13th century

    Summary

    June 17th, 1989

    “This would be a much more straightforward question if you could give me some indication as to what your friend is,” DCI Thomas Nightingale says between sips of tea. Robert Gadling, known to his friends as Hob, world’s only—as far as Nightingale knows—utterly non-magical immortal, gestures vaguely.

    After Dream misses their 1989 meeting, Hob files a missing person report with an old friend.
