(Short Stories)

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 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 . . . Of course, Arthur Bryant remembers these lost cases as if they were yesterday. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember yesterday, so any newly revealed facts come as something of a surprise to - well, to everyone really, not least an increasingly exasperated John May.Here then, 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 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 Hallowe'en goings-on, but quite how a forgotten London legend is responsible for an apparently impossible death is anybody's guess. Each of the PCU's oddest characters has a part to play - and the detectives' long-suffering sergeant Janice Longbright reveals a forgotten mystery of her very own. There are twelve crimes in all, each solved without resorting to modern technology (possibly because nobody knows how to use it). Expect misunderstood clues, mislaid evidence, arguments about Dickens, various churches and pubs and, of course, the usual disorderly conduct from the investigative officers they laughingly call 'England's Finest'!£16.99
