Oddly, each of these women owns a model of London Bridge, hinting at a deeper enigma.With the aid of their colorful network of informants, Bryant and May embark on a peculiar trail of clues through London's obscure pathways, seeking out a cunning murderer. Yet, as the case appears to unravel, they find that Mrs. Hoffman was far cleverer than anyone anticipated, weaving an even more complex web of intrigue. As they celebrate twenty years of partnership, Bryant and May confront perhaps their most bizarre and perilous case yet, one that promises to transform the peculiar crimes they champion in London.
