About the author

Peter Ackroyd

Peter Ackroyd is a prolific British author whose fiction blurs history, biography, and Gothic fiction in a uniquely English way. Hawksmoor is a masterpiece of Gothic literary fiction, linking 18th-century London murders with present-day killings. His novels are saturated with London's history and its uncanny layering of time.
