Synopsis

Long regarded an anachronism and a thorn in the side of its superiors, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is to be disbanded. For octogenarian detectives Arthur Bryant and John May, it seems retirement is now the only option. But then a headless body is found in a freezer, and on the perimeter of a massive construction site near King's Cross, a gigantic figure has been spotted - dressed in deerskin and sporting antlers made of knives and suddenly, with limited resources and very little time, the PCU are back in business. In the panoply of great fictional detective duos, Bryant & May rank alongside (and somewhere in between) Holmes & Watson and Mulder & Scully.

Media Reviews
Imagine the X-Files with Holmes and Watson in the place of Mulder and Scully, and the books written by PG Wodehouse, and you have some idea of the idiosyncratic and distinctly British flavour of the Bryant & May novels, with some lovely tongue-in-cheek dialogue and sly asides. At the centre of the book is a chilling character study of the evolution of a sociopath, a monster who flits in and out of the story like a cipher or a ghost in the machine, manipulating people and events. In the sly and cunning Mr Fox, Fowler may just have created a Ripley for the noughties and an arch-nemesis for Bryant & May. Black Static magazine
