Publisher's Synopsis
Walking London's backstreets one evening, Arthur Bryant sees a middle-aged lady, slightly the worse for wear, coming out of a pub. The next morning, her body is found at the point where their paths crossed. In itself disturbing enough, but there's a twist: the pub has vanished. It appears that the lives of other women have been cut short in London pubs - a silent killer is at work, striking in full view, but nobody has a clue how, who or why. Detectives Bryant and May of the Peculiar Crimes Unit find themselves on the pub crawl of a lifetime.
