About the Author

Before becoming a bestselling author, Ben Aaronovitch was a screenwriter for Doctor Who and a bookseller at Waterstones. He now writes full time, and every book in his Rivers of London series has been a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller. He is published in 14 languages and has sold more than 2 million copies around the world. Aaronovitch is also a trustee on the board of Cityread London and is a long-time supporter of Nigeria's premiere arts and cultural festival, The Ake Festival. He still lives in London, the city he likes to refer to as 'the capital of the world'.

Reviews

This gloriously eclectic mash-up of police investigation and supernatural insanity is as wise, witty and utterly absorbing as the rest of this glorious series.
*Daily Mail*

This might be Aaronovitch's greatest success yet. 5 stars!
*The Sun*

Aaronovitch has no peers [...] his plotting is still satisfyingly inventive and the continuing characters maintain their charm.
*The Guardian*

Ben Aaronovitch has created a wonderful world full of mystery, magic and fantastic characters. I love being there more than the real London.
*Nick Frost*

Fresh and original and a wonderful read. I loved it.
*Charlaine Harris*

A charming, witty and exciting romp through a magical world not all that far from our own.
