Ben Aaronovitch’s WINTER’S GIFTS Out Now in the UK!

Posted on Thursday, June 8th, 2023

The UK edition of Ben Aaronovitch‘s latest Rivers of London novella, WINTER’S GIFTS is out today! The first book to star FBI Agent Kimberley Reynolds, it moves the action to the United States. Published by Gollancz, it is available in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook (narrated by Penelope Rawlins), here’s the synopsis…

THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND…

When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an ‘X-Ray Sierra India’ incident, the operator doesn’t understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does.

That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town – and there’s no sign of Henderson.

Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising – cutting off the town, with no way in or out…

Something terrible is awakening. As the clues lead to the coldest of cold cases – a cursed expedition into the frozen wilderness – Reynolds follows a trail from the start of the American nightmare, to the horror that still lives on today…

The novella is due to be published on June 8th in Hardcover, eBook, and audiobook (narrated by Penelope Rawlins).

Also, a reminder that Ben is on tour at the moment in the UK, to celebrate the release of WINTER’S GIFTS. Including this evening, there are seven remaining stops on the tour, and you can find full information and tickets for the events at the links, below…
