Ben Aaronovitch was born in London in 1964 and had the kind of dull routine childhood that drives a man to drink or to science fiction. He is a screenwriter, with early notable success on BBC television’s legendary Doctor Who, for which he wrote some episodes now widely regarded as classics, and which even he is quite fond of. He has also penned several groundbreaking TV tie-in novels. After a decade of such work, he decided it was time to show the world what he could really do and embarked on his first serious original novel. The result is Midnight Riot, the debut adventure of Peter Grant, followed by Moon Over Soho.
“A terrific follow-up to [Aaronovitch’s] novel Midnight Riot, the
debut of Peter Grant and his own weird London. Grant continues to
learn the ropes of magical London, a process that takes him on a
trip through Nightingale's haunted past and into some of the most
interesting places you won't find on any official tour. Aaronovitch
makes the story sing, building momentum until the ending is
literally breathless.” --SF Revu
“A realistic modern-day police procedural populated by increasingly
solid characters and written in the same consistently witty style
as the first Peter Grant novel [Midnight Riot]. . . . One of the
most entertaining books I’ve read in a long time.” --Fantasy
