Books like Strange Tide by Christopher Fowler


Arthur Bryant and John May, the duo leading London’s Peculiar Crimes Unit, confront a perplexing case when a woman’s body is found chained to a stone post near the Tower of London, left to drown in the River Thames. The killing is unique: only one set of footprints leads to the scene, puzzling the press and the detectives, who must decide why the killer didn’t simply discard the body in the river. As more victims surface from the Thames’ depths, Bryant’s mind frays, and he slips toward hallucinations that threaten both his sanity and the unit’s stability. The investigation tests their partnership and the very integrity of the Peculiar Crimes Unit.
