(from the publisher): The odd couple of detection -- the brilliant but
cranky detectives of London’s Peculiar Crimes Unit -- return
in a
tense, atmospheric new thriller that keeps you guessing until the final
page. This time Bryant and May are up against a series of bizarre
murders that defy human understanding -- and a killer no human hand may
be able to stop.
A
mysterious stranger in outlandish Edwardian garb defaces a painting in
the National Gallery. Then a guest at the exclusive Savoy Hotel is
fatally bitten by what appears to be a marshland snake. An outbreak of
increasingly bizarre crimes has hit London -- and, fittingly, come to
the attention of the Peculiar Crimes Unit.
Art vandalism, an exploding suspect, pornography, rat poison, Gilbert
and Sullivan musicals, secret societies -- and not a single suspect in
sight. The killer they’re chasing has a dark history, a habit
of
staying hidden, and time itself on his side. Detectives John May and
Arthur Bryant may have finally met their match, and this time
they’re really working against the clock.
