As Jones says, his late father was “a beast of a reader”, and one of his favorites was a book was Hawksmoor, the award-winning 1985 novel by Peter Aykroyd. It’s the story of two characters, Nicholas Dyer, who builds churches in in London, and Nicholas Hawksmoor, a 1980s detective who investigates murders committed in those old churches.
So if you’re reading this and you’re Bowie’s big fan, wondering how to join the club, be sure to apply until February 1.
