Seventy-Seven Clocks by Christopher Fowler
A mysterious stranger in outlandish Edwardian garb defaces a Pre-Raphaelite painting in the National Gallery. Then a guest at the exclusive Savoy Hotel is fatally bitten by a marshland snake. Over the next several days, an outbreak of increasingly bizarre crimes will hit London--and, fittingly, come to the attention of the Peculiar Crimes Unit. Art vandalism, an exploding suspect, pornography, rat poison, Gilbert and Sullivan musicals, secret societies.and not a single suspect in sight. The killer they're chasing has a dark history, a habit of staying hidden, and time itself on his side. Detectives May and Bryant are racing the clock and this time the bell may be tolling for them.Christopher Fowler, a London native, has spent more than thirty years writing for film, television, radio, graphic novels, and newspapers, including The London Times. He contributes a weekly column to The Independent on Sunday. Fowler has won numerous awards for his work, which includes the acclaimed Bryant & May mystery series. He has been nominated for eight national book awards in the last year. For more information, go to www.christopherfowler.co.uk.
