Public houses in London – the very fabric of working class society are being targeted by a killer with a strange agenda and a gentle but deadly MO. The case comes to PCU’s attention and then it’s business as usual at Peculiar Crimes. Arthur Bryant is convinced his memory’s going after witnessing one of the middle-aged victims entering a pub that hasn’t existed for over 80 years. May is hiding secrets and only one is in a manila envelope. With no surface connection between the dead women the unit digs deeper. What they discover is conspiracy, murder, a nanny state plot gone horribly wrong and cover-ups galore.
The pencil pushers at the Home Office keep throwing roadblocks into PCU’s path, like a new coroner, a by-the-book Detective Sergeant and one final masterstroke from the sinister Russian Home Secretary could mean this is the last case they ever solve and solve it they do but Bryant’s convinced there’s something vital they’ve missed…..
