On a rainy winter night outside a run-down nightclub in the wrong
part of London, four strangers meet for the first time at 4:00am. A
few weeks later the body of an Indian textile worker is found
hanging upside down inside a willow tree on Hamstead Heath. The
Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. The victim was
found surrounded by the paraphernalia of black magic, and so Arthur
Bryant and John May set off to question experts in the field. But
the case is not what it appears. When another victim seemingly
commits suicide, it becomes clear that in the London night is a
killer who knows what people fear most. And he always strikes at
4:00am. In order to catch him, the PCU must switch to night shifts,
but still the team draws a blank. John May takes a technological
approach, Arthur Bryant goes in search of academics and misfits for
help, for this is becoming a case that reveals impossibilities at
every turn, not least that there's no indication of what the
victims might have done to attract the attentions of a murderer
that doesn't seem to exist. But impossibilities are what the
Peculiar Crimes Unit does best. As they explore a night city where
all the normal rules are upended, they're drawn deeper into a case
that involves murder, arson, kidnap, blackmail, bats and the
psychological effects of loneliness on Londoners. It's a trail that
takes them from the poorest part of the East End to the wealthiest
homes in North London - an investigation that can only end in
tragedy
