✦ Synopsis


The Peculiar Crimes Unit has solved many extraordinary cases over the years. Some have been forgotten, others hidden, a few lost down the back of the Unit sofa --until now. . . .


"The most delightfully, wickedly entertaining duo in crime fiction." --The Plain Dealer


Arthur Bryant remembers these lost cases as if they were yesterday. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember yesterday, so newly revealed facts come as something of a surprise--to everyone, really, not least an increasingly exasperated John May.

Here you will discover the truth about the diva and the seventh reindeer, learn how a consul's son came to be buried in the Unit's basement, and understand why a corpse might end up in a swamp of Chinese dinners. There's an ordinary London street corner that's prone to strange accidents, and the Post Office Tower plays host to some ghoulish Halloween goings-on--but how a forgotten London legend could be...
