A unique opportunity to hear from writer Ben Aaronovitch, the man behind the hugely successful, Sunday Times best-selling urban fantasy crime fiction series Rivers of London.

Born and raised in London, Ben lives in Kentish Town. He worked as a scriptwriter for Doctor Who and Casualty before the inspiration for his own books struck him whilst working as a bookseller in Waterstones. Ben’s unique novels are the culmination of his experience of writing about the emergency services and the supernatural.

The Sunday Times best-selling urban fantasy crime fiction series Rivers of London follows the adventures of a rookie copper-turned-apprentice-wizard, Peter Grant, and his boss, the last wizard in England. A unique blend of police procedural, supernatural mayhem and threads of fascinating hidden history woven through the very fabric of the plot, Rivers Of London is fast-moving, funny, full of warmth and features at its heart one of the greatest and most historically rich cites in the world: London.

Please note: there will be a selection of Ben Aaronovitch's books for sale which the author will be signing.
