The wait is finally over: AMONGST OUR WEAPONS, Ben Aaronovitch‘s highly-anticipated ninth Rivers of London novel is out today in the UK! Published in the UK by Orion Books, here’s the synopsis…

There is a world hidden underneath this great city…

The London Silver Vaults – for well over a century, the largest collection of silver for sale in the world. It has more locks than the Bank of England and more cameras than a celebrity punch-up.

Not somewhere you can murder someone and vanish without a trace – only that’s what happened.

The disappearing act, the reports of a blinding flash of light and memory loss amongst the witnesses all make this a case for Detective Constable Peter Grant and the Special Assessment Unit.

Alongside their boss DCI Thomas Nightingale, the SAU find themselves embroiled in a mystery that encompasses London’s tangled history, foreign lands and, most terrifying of all, the North!

And Peter must solve this case soon because back home his partner Beverley is expecting twins any day now. But what he doesn’t know is that he’s about to encounter something – and somebody – that nobody ever expects…

Effortlessly original, endlessly inventive and hugely entertaining – step into the world of the much-loved, Number One bestselling Rivers of London series.

The novel is also available as an audiobook, narrated by the incomparable Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. The novel is due to be published in North America by DAW Books (April 12th) and in Germany by DTV (April 14th).

The other novels and novellas in the Rivers of London series are published in the UK by Gollancz; by DTV in Germany; and by Del Rey (1-3), DAW Books (4-) and Subterranean Press (novellas) in North America.
