My only concerns in life were avoiding a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - We do paperwork so other coppers don't have to - and where to get a hot coffee while on late shift. Then one night, in pursuance of a murder inquiry, I tried to take a witness statement from a man who was dead, but disturbingly voluble and that brought me to the attention Chief Inspector Nightingale, the last wizard in Britain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd that, as they say, is where the story really starts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow I'm in plain clothes and the first apprentice wizard in fifty years, and my world has become somewhat more complicated. Now I'm dealing with nests of vampires in Purley, negotiating a truce between the warring god and goddess of the River Thames and digging up graves in Covent Garden - and that's just the routine stuff. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause there's something festering at the heart of the city I love, a malicious, vengeful spirit that takes ordinary Londoners and twists them into grotesque mannequins to act out its drama of violence and despair. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe spirit of riot and rebellion has awakened in the city, and it's fallen to me to bring order out of chaos - or die trying. Which, I don't mind telling you, would involve a hell of a lot of paperwork.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in London, Ben Aaronovitch worked as a scriptwriter for \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCasualty\u003c\/i\u003e before the inspiration for his own series of books struck him whilst working as a bookseller in Waterstones Covent Garden.
