This is a collection of short stories revolving around Bryant and May's cases that have never been disclosed up until now. With the usual touch of genius these two investigators along with the Peculiar Crimes Unit are faced with such cases as the woman with a slit throat in the middle of a pristine snowfall in the park with no evidence to show anyone was ever near her. Or how Bryant can calmly take May on a tourist bus and confidently claim they will be arresting a murderer who is now on the bus with them at the precise time and location, not to mention helping to inform the tour guide of his various mistakes.
This collection is peppered with the author's notes on how he came about with his ideas and gives a behind the scenes glimpse of how much effort and talent is weaved throughout this series. All in all this is a very fitting tribute to London and its varied history and to the lasting tradition of great English mysteries.
