Midnight Riot is not listed at all (maybe different names for the US and UK releases?). But the fact it is Ben rather than David is the most mysterious issue...

EDIT: according to Wikipedia, Ben is David's brother...
Yes, it is BEN.
The book I read was titled Midnight Riot, that title may be the Cdn/US title only? Possibly the title is Rivers of London in the UK and the rest of the universe. Perhaps the US publisher thought the title sounded too much like a nerdish travel guide? The ways of publishers with titles is inscrutable
