Winner of CrimeFest 2013's 'eDunnit Award' for 'the best crime
fiction ebook published in 2012 in both hardcopy and in electronic
format'. Two small children are playing a game called
'Witch-Hunter'. They place a curse on a young woman taking lunch in
a church courtyard and wait for her to die. An hour later the woman
is indeed found dead inside St Bride's Church - a building that
no-one else has entered. Unfortunately Bryant & May are refused
the case. Instead, there are hired by their greatest enemy to find
out why his wife has suddenly started behaving strangely. She's
become an embarrassment to him at government dinners, and he is
convinced that someone is trying to drive her insane. She has even
taken to covering the mirrors in her apartment, and believes
herself to be the victim of witchcraft. Then a society photographer
is stabbed to death in a nearby park and suddenly a link emerges
between the two cases. And so begins an investigation that will
test the members of the Peculiar Crimes Unit to their limits,
setting Arthur Bryant off on a trail that leads to Bedlam and
Bletchley Park, and into the world of madness, codes and the secret
of London's strangest relic. As the members of the Peculiar Crimes
Unit dig behind the city's facades to expose a world of private
clubs, hidden passages and covert loyalties, they realise that the
case might not just end in disaster - it might also get everyone
killed.
