Book description
Long regarded an anachronism and a thorn in the side of its superiors,
the Peculiar Crimes Unit is to be disbanded. For octogenarian detectives
Arthur Bryant and John May, it seems retirement is now the only option.
But then a headless body is found in a freezer, and on the perimeter of
a massive construction site near King's Cross, a gigantic figure has
been spotted - dressed in deerskin and sporting antlers made of knives
and suddenly, with limited resources and very little time, the PCU are
back in business...
