Ben Aaronovitch

My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just another probationary constable in the Metropolitan Police Service. My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit and finding a way to climb into the panties of WPC Leslie May. Then one night, I tried to take a statement from a man who was already dead.

High Fidelity

I don’t mind getting drunk, but there always comes a moment in the evening when I find myself watching myself bumping into things and thinking, I’m bored of this, can I have full control of my brain back, please?

I did what everyone does when they’ve run out of options – I went back to the one place where, when you turn up, they have to let you in.

Standard operating procedure for dealing with mad fuckers; keep them talking, sidle closer, grab them when they ain’t looking.
