The November Tour Press Release

Peter Grant is coming to a bookshop near you.

Meet Ben Aaronovitch on his epic tour of Great Britain to celebrate the publication of his upcoming, new RIVERS OF LONDON novel, LIES SLEEPING.

Ben will be travelling over 1300 miles, visiting 20 bookshops, across 12 days, to meet as many fans as possible and introduce them to Peter’s latest escapades as The Folly and the Metropolitan police team-up to once and for all try to take down the Faceless Man. This time Peter comes head-to-head with a plan that has its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees. To save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. And, far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch…

Now some of you are no doubt saying 'But Ben we've already seen this cover - why no sneak preview?' And the truth is that there wasn't one single dramatic image from Issue 2 that wouldn't be a massive spoiler. So if you want to know what Abigail does next or how Guleed fits into this story you're just going to have to buy it when it comes out on the 13th of December.
