Product Description
Arthur Bryant and John May of the Met's little-known Peculiar Crimes Unit are London's longest-serving detectives. When a bomb claims Bryant's life, it ends a partnership that has lasted for over half a century.
Desperately searching for clues to the killer's identity, May becomes convinced that the answer is to be found in their very first assignment together. It was in London, during the Blitz, and it all began when a beautiful dancer in a steamy new production of Orpheus in the Underworld was found without her feet...
And it was an investigation that would plunge the two detectives into a bizarre gothic mystery— in pursuit of a faceless man who stalked the theatres of a nervous, beleaguered city already full of myth and rumour.
From the acclaimed author of Roofworld and Spanky comes a deliciously sinister drama in which two of British fiction's most enigmatic detective heroes—Bryant & May—take centre stage in this, their first great case.
