Full Book Description

Paris is beautiful.
Paris is moving.
Paris does not stop for anyone.

What begins as a carefully planned family trip - England to Paris, then onward to Disney - fractures the moment they arrive. An accommodation cancelled without warning. Streets that punish hesitation. Crowds that flow around violence without reacting.

As the family navigates backstreets, silence, and systems that don't respond, they learn an unspoken rule of the city:

Stillness makes you a target.

Muggings and Magic is a dark, atmospheric novel rooted in real experience, where fear isn't supernatural - it's environmental. The city itself becomes a presence, contrasted against the manufactured safety of Disney and the fragile comfort of places designed to protect hope.

This is not a story about monsters in the shadows.
It's about what happens when a city doesn't notice you at all.
