A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Nun scheint es, als ob er doch Recht behalten könnte: Wie weit wird er gehen, um sie zu retten? Banecroft ist abgelenkt und damit kommt der Rücktritt von Hannah Willis als stellvertretende Chefredakteurin äußerst ungelegen.

But when a sect of murderous monks emerges, killing human and undead alike, Greta must use her unusual skills to keep her supernatural clients - and the rest of London - safe.

Es gibt keine Vampire. Umso ärgerlicher, wenn sie dann in Manchester auftauchen. Wirklich niemand freut sich darüber. Nicht die magischen Wesen, die es tatsächlich gibt, und schon gar nicht die Menschen in Manchester. Denn nichts ist ärgerlicher, als von ausgedachten Monstern um die Ecke gebracht zu werden. Zum Glück gibt es die Mitarbeiter der Stranger Times. Allerdings haben die schon genug zu tun. Hannah hat gerade eine chaotische Scheidung hinter sich und findet heraus, dass jemand versucht, eine Kollegin zu entführen.

And the town where they all live is being ripped apart. Some of the people are happy, while others are scared. Is the stranger there for good or bad? And is everything all as it seems?
