Bryant & May on the Loose
by Christopher Fowler
Mystery. The Peculiar Crimes Unit was recently closed, leaving elderly detectives Arthur Bryant and John May at a bit of a loss. But not to worry: thanks to the discovery of a beheaded body in King's Cross, the members of the London group are back! Well, sort of. They don't have money or official status, but they do have May champing at the bit to work (he even gets Bryant back on the street). In addition to the headless corpse, there's a man wearing a stag's head abducting people in the same area, and the peculiar cases might be connected. In this 7th outing, "the pacing, prose, planting of clues and characterizations are all top-notch" (Publishers Weekly); Bryant & May and the Burning Man, the 12th book in this funny, well-plotted series was released earlier this year.

Increasingly convinced that the cold case he's investigating is connected to his persecution, Macleod tries to connect the dots before it's too late to save his life and the lives of his loved ones"
