About Ben Aaronovitch
Born and raised in London, Ben Aaronovitch had the sort of unrelentingly uninteresting childhood that drives a person to drink or Science Fiction. The later proved useful in his early career when he wrote for Doctor Who (before it was fashionable), Casualty and the cheapest soap opera ever made - Jupiter Moon.
It was while running the Crime and Science Fiction sections at the Covent Garden branch of Waterstones that he conceived the notion of writing novels instead. Thus was the Rivers of London series born and when the first book proved to be a runaway success, he waited all of five minutes to give up the day job and return to the bliss that is a full-time writing career.
About Stone & Sky
Detective Sergeant Peter Grant takes a much-needed holiday up in Scotland. And he'll need one when this is over...
If
more's the merrier, then it's ecstatic as his partner Beverley, their
young twins, his mum, dad, his dad's band and their dodgy manager all
tag along. Even his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, takes in the coastal
airs as he trains Peter's cousin Abigail in the arcane arts. And
they'll need them too, because Scotland's Granite City has more than its
fair share of history and mystery, myth... and murder.
When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off. Something may be stirring beyond the bay - but there's something far stranger in the sky...
This event takes place at John Peel Centre in Stowmarket, IP14 1ET.
