Ben Aaronovitch

Ben Aaronovitch is a renowned British author, born in 1964 in London. He is well-known for his series "Rivers of London" and his works often fall under the genres of science fiction, urban fantasy, crime fiction, mystery, and thriller. Aaronovitch discovered his talent for writing at an early age and began his career as a screenwriter for television shows such as Doctor Who, Casualty, and Jupiter Moon.

Aaronovitch's family consisted of his parents, two elder brothers, a couple of sisters, and a dog. His father, Sam Aaronovitch, was an economist and a Communist. Unfortunately, Aaronovitch had a difficult childhood, which led him to alcohol addiction and radical politics at a young age. Despite these challenges, he began writing in his twenties and found success as a screenwriter for various television shows. However, a setback occurred when the makers of one of the shows pulped all his writings, leading to a dark phase in his life. This period is described in his novel "Dark Knight".

Aaronovitch's career had a bumpy start, with early success in screenwriting for Doctor Who, followed by a lull, and then a resurgence with the "Rivers of London" series. He has been living and working in London for most of his life, and has expressed a strong attachment to the city, stating that he will not leave it willingly. Currently, he continues to write and reside in London, producing bestselling novels and maintaining his reputation as a skilled author.
