What you need to know before your trail
Our story begins at the end of an investigation, as the members of London’s Peculiar Crimes Unit race to catch a killer near London Bridge Station in the rain, not realising that they’re about to cause a bizarre accident just yards away from the crime scene. And it will have repercussions for them all…
One year later, in an exclusive London crescent, a woman walks her dog – but she’s being watched. When she’s found dead, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. Why? Because the method of death is odd, the gardens are locked, the killer had no way in – or out – and the dog has disappeared.
The hows and whys of the murder are not the only mysteries surrounding the dead woman – there’s a missing husband and a lost nanny to puzzle over too.
With the PCU placed under house arrest, only Arthur Bryant remains at liberty – but can a hallucinating old codger catch the criminal and save the unit before it’s too late?

BookTrail Bryant and May’s London
The London featured in the Bryant and May books is really fascinating ad feature some of the lesser known spots with tons of history! The sense of place is very much central to the story here and it features heavily throughout the novel as a character in the story itself. So much care and attention to detail in this author’s crafting of London. Two geriatric investigators who take on the cases at the Peculiar crimes unit are something to be reckoned with and their view and experience of the city is a joy to read about. The Peculiar is close to King’s Cross so you’re right at the heart of the action.
Arthur Bryant delves in to the history of London’s ‘wild chambers’ – its extraordinary parks and gardens, John May and the rest of the team seem to have caused a national scandal. If no-one is safe then all of London’s open spaces must be closed…
