The authors and their work

Ben Aaronovitch created Rivers of London and writes its prose books.

Companion books and audio story

Novellas, a collection and a standalone audio case have their own guides. Audiobook narrators are credited separately on those guides.

Andrew Cartmel

Cartmel is credited alongside Aaronovitch on eleven of the twelve collected comic records in this guide. He has also worked as a novelist and screenwriter, including script editing Doctor Who and writing the Vinyl Detective mysteries.
