'Winningly eccentric . . . London, in all its non-homogenous,
sprawling splendour, is as much a character as Fowler's sleuthing
duo' Barry Forshaw, Financial Times The Peculiar Crimes Unit has
solved many extraordinary cases over the years, but some were
hushed up and hidden away. Until now. Arthur Bryant remembers these
lost cases as if they were yesterday. Unfortunately, he doesn't
remember yesterday, so the newly revealed facts could come as a
surprise to everyone, including his exasperated partner John May.
Here, then, is the truth about the Covent Garden opera diva and the
seventh reindeer, the body that falls from the Tate Gallery, the
ordinary London street corner where strange accidents keep
occurring, the consul's son discovered buried in the unit's
basement, the corpse pulled from a swamp of Chinese dinners, a
Hallowe'en crime in the Post Office Tower, and the impossible death
that's the fault of a forgotten London legend. All of the unit's
oddest characters are here, plus the detectives' long-suffering
sergeant Janice Longbright gets to reveal her own forgotten
mystery. These twelve crimes must be solved without the help of
modern technology, mainly because nobody knows how to use it.
Expect misunderstood clues, lost evidence, arguments about Dickens,
churches, pubs and disorderly conduct from the investigative
officers they laughingly call 'England's Finest'!
