Detective Inspector Peter Grant is back in an all-new comic miniseries from author Ben Aaronovitch!

Ben Aaronovitch’s ‘Rivers of London’ Set For Adaptation By See-Saw, Pure Fiction Television


Trouble never lies far from the race track. When a flash car belonging to a young boy racer from England washes up in the Netherlands with a bagload of unusual cargo, it's evident there is more than meets the eye happening at street races held in an Essex car park.

Enter Detective Inspector Peter Grant. Fresh from suspension, he takes to the track in his orange 'asbo' Ford Focus to try and infiltrate the big leagues. But Peter soon finds himself sucked back into an Otherworld - a real-life fairyland!
“The car racing positively leaps off the page, almost literally in places, and the whole graphic novel is stunningly atmospheric, pitching a strong story in vivid artwork and well-chosen, economical text. The series is a joy to read, and artwork of this standard provides a complementary visual delight” - Crime Review

"Simply outstanding...compelling and beautifully crafted story from first page to last." - Midwest Book Review

"Ben Aaronvitch and Andrew Cartmel have crafted a fully realized world that seamlessly blends modern policing, with all of its technology and advancements, with wizards and witchcraft" - Pop Culture Uncovered

“An entertaining yarn and an enjoyable foray into the world of Peter Grant” - Down The Tubes

"Lee Sullivan provides some fantastic artwork for the comic and really manages to pull off the sense of speed and danger" - SciFi Pulse

“Incredibly funny” - Geek Pride

“Aaronovitch and co-writer Andrew Cartmel are once again the epitome of a dream team. Their seamless work brings the thrill of a crime drama but with the necessary flare for comic book readers ... Lee Sullivan and Mariano Laclaustra breathe life into the characters with their exquisite art. ... This is a must have for anyone interested in urban fantasy. The characters are great, the mysteries are fun, and the comics are a perfect way to start delving into the world” - A Place to Hang Your Cape

“Aaronovitch has created some of the most fully realized characters I’ve ever seen in fiction, and along with Cartmel these people have been beautifully carried over into comics ... CSI butts up against Supernatural and the fantastic lives side by side with the ordinary” - The Pullbox

“Filled with detailed characterisation, punchy dialogue and a plot that drags magic into an incredibly human, street wise, slobber-knocker of a romp that revolves around horsepower, intrigue and all things fantastical, brought to life by the delicate and sumptuous art of Lee Sullivan and Mariano Laclaustra.” - Mass Movement
