For his partner John May, it means the end of a partnership that lasted over half-a-century and an eerie echo back to the Blitz of World War II when they first met. Desperately searching for clues to the killer's identity, May finds his old friend's notes of their very first case and becomes convinced that the past has returned . . . with a killing vengeance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt begins when a dancer in a risque new production of Orpheus in Hell is found without her feet. Suddenly, the young detectives are plunged in a bizarre gothic mystery that will push them to their limits--and beyond. For in a city shaken by war, a faceless killer is stalking London's theaters, creating his own kind of sinister drama. And it will take Arthur Bryant's unorthodox techniques and John May's dogged police work to catch a criminal whose ability to escape detection seems almost supernatural--a murderer who even decades later seems to have claimed the life of one of them . . . and is ready to claim the other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with startling twists, unforgettable characters, and a mystery that will keep you guessing, \u003ci\u003eFull Dark House\u003c\/i\u003e is a witty, heartbreaking, and all-too-human thriller about the hunt for an inhuman killer.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Fowler\u003c\/b\u003e was the acclaimed author of the award-winning Peculiar Crimes Unit mysteries: \u003ci\u003eFull Dark House, The Water Room, Seventy-Seven Clocks, Ten Second Staircase, White Corridor, The Victoria Vanishes, Bryant \u0026amp; May on the Loose, Bryant \u0026amp; May off the Rails, The Memory of Blood, The Invisible Code, Bryant \u0026amp; May and the Bleeding Heart, Bryant \u0026amp; May and the Burning Man, Bryant \u0026amp; May: Strange Tide, Bryant \u0026amp; May: Wild Chamber, Bryant \u0026amp; May: Hall of Mirrors, Bryant \u0026amp; May: The Lonely Hour, Bryant \u0026amp; May: Oranges \u0026amp; Lemons, Bryant \u0026amp; May: London Bridge Is Falling Down, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBryant \u0026amp; May: Peculiar London.\u003c\/i\u003e In 2015 Fowler won the coveted Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library Award in recognition for his body of work.
