In three weeks, Gollancz/Orion is due to publish Ben Aaronovitch‘s latest novella set in the world of Rivers of London. This time, in THE MASQUERADES OF SPRING, the action returns to North America. The book will arrive in stores on September 5th. Here’s the synopsis…

New York City, New York.

Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young – fop, flaneur, and Englishman abroad – as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps.

That is, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, pursuing a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone – which will take Gussie from his warm bed, to the cold shores of Long Island, and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows…

To celebrate the release of the book, Ben will be going on a UK book tour! Check out the graphic, below, for details…

The novella is due to be published in North America by Subterranean Press, towards the end of September.
