Relics by Tim Lebbon

New York Times-bestselling author: This richly imagined urban fantasy novel set in London's supernatural black market reads like a cross between Clive Barker and Anne Rice

There's an underground black market for arcane things. Akin to the trade in rhino horns or tigers' bones, this network traffics in remains of gryphons, faeries, goblins, and other fantastic creatures.
When her fiancé Vince goes missing Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers that he was a part of this secretive trade. It's a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London's dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics.
Then Angela discovers that some of these objects aren't as ancient as they seem. Some of them are fresh.
Dripping with supernatural terror, Relics launches a new trilogy by the New York Times-bestselling author of Coldbrook, The Silence, and the Alien-Predator Rage War series.
