The eighth book featuring Bryant and May, the indomitable (and possibly oldest) detectives assigned to the Peculiar Crimes Unit. This entry in the standout series finds Bryant, May and their team with only a week to catch a devious killer who somehow escaped a locked room, killed one of their own and vanished. Their nemesis has no name, no identity. The hunt takes them into the vast depths of the London Underground, where the subway (the Tube) ends and another world begins. A celebrated and award-winning author, Fowler wrote 21 books featuring Bryant and May, two Golden Age detectives living in modern London. He worked in the British film industry and is credited with the immortal tagline from the first Alien movie: In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream. Part police procedural, part X-files, part Ellery Queen, Fowler's Bryant and May books are highly sought after by collectors. Signed copies of his early work are increasingly difficult to find, especially in this condition.
