"Oh, joy, a new Peculiar Crimes Unit case by Christopher Fowler . . . the best fun is running all over the city with these amiable partners."--The New York Times Book Review

The brilliant Arthur Bryant and John May take the late, late shift in a cat-and-mouse hunt with a killer who preys on his victims at the same time every night--the lonely hour of 4 A.M.

When a man is found hanging upside down inside a willow tree on Hampstead Heath, surrounded by a baffling assortment of occult objects, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. Was this a botched satanic ritual pulled off by bored teenagers, a gang initiation, or the work of a mastermind with grander intentions? Bryant and May set off in search of answers and are soon reminded that London is a city steeped in blood and magic.

When another body is pulled from the river at dawn, it becomes clear that a killer lurks in the night. To catch him, the PCU switches to graveyard shifts, but the team still comes up short. As they explore a night city where the normal rules do not apply, they're drawn deeper into a case that involves murder, arson, kidnapping, blackmail, loneliness, and bats.

May takes a technological approach, while Bryant goes in search of his usual academics and misfits for help, for this investigation reveals impossibilities at every turn. How do you stop a killer who appears not to exist? Luckily, impossibilities are what the Peculiar Crimes Unit does best.

A Must Read For Anyone!
Rarely have I come across an author more succinct, simple to read and real than John Eldredge. The book left me longing for more - in a good way. I wanted God to love me. I wanted to go to Eternal Life so I can be reunited with Him and just bask in His love for me. It challenges your thinking - as all good writing should. I loved it. I own 5 copies. "I don't know... when I see one I just have to buy it... to feel normal." ~Conspiracy Theory. But I have read it, so I'm not an ex-government spook, reconditioned by drugs and brainwashing on the MK-Ultra Plan or anything. You must buy this book. They are watching. (I am giving copies to all my kids to read when they get a little older.)

Sturdy & Perfect Size
Color: Black
Love this sponge/soap holder. This is a perfect size to put scrubs, sponges, brushes and soap. Keeps your sink area clean and organized. It’s very sturdy and drains right into your sink. It also stays in place.

Great find
Color: Black
I had something in my sink to hold my washcloth but didn't like how it took up sink space. This was the perfect answers and now I can hang my washcloth on this and it hangs just enough over the sink so the drips stay in the sink. Also enough room for my scrub brush and sponge. Very happy with this purchase.

Good design, but stainless color is more like chrome
Color: Stainless Steel
Quality is good and design is nice. Knocked it down one start because the stainless is actually chrome/shiny, not what we wanted but again works well and looks
