'Full dark house' by Christopher Fowler
When a bomb devastates the office of London's most unusual police unit, it claims the life of detective Arthur Bryant. As his partner searches for the bomber, the hunt leads back to the detectives' first meeting in 1940.
In Blitz-ravaged London, a beautiful dancer is found without her feet. Bryant and May's investigation plunges them into a bizarre gothic mystery, where a faceless man stalks terrified actors and death strikes in darkness.
Black humour and classical references abound in this intelligent first outing for the octogenarian detectives of the Peculiar Crimes Unit.
