About this ebook
In this fast-paced Peculiar Crimes Unit mystery, available as an eBook short story, detectives Arthur Bryant and John May must crack a puzzling Christmas case with some extra assistance from Santa’s little helpers.
Includes a preview of Christopher Fowler’s upcoming Peculiar Crimes Unit mystery, Bryant & May and the Burning Man!
The streets of London are covered in twinkling lights and freshly fallen snow, but the mood inside the Christmas department of Selfridges is decidedly less cheery. Bryant and May have arrived there to investigate the death of an eleven-year-old boy who inexplicably fled the store after a routine visit to Santa’s Wonderland. Their only clue is a torn scrap of blue cloth discovered at the scene. Now, Bryant and May are making a list of suspects, but they’d better check it twice to catch a shifty culprit in disguise.
Praise for Christopher Fowler’s brilliant Peculiar Crimes Unit novels

“Delectably droll . . . brainy and pure.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“Fowler reinvents and reinvigorates the traditional police procedural.”—The Boston Globe
“May and Bryant make a stellar team.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Fowler has few peers when it comes to constructing ingenious and intricate plots.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
