{"product_id":"seventy-seven-clocks-9780553385540","title":"Seventy-Seven Clocks","description":"A mysterious stranger in outlandish Edwardian garb defaces a Pre-Raphaelite painting in the National Gallery. Then a guest at the exclusive Savoy Hotel is fatally bitten by a marshland snake. Over the next several days, an outbreak of increasingly bizarre crimes will hit London--and, fittingly, come to the attention of the Peculiar Crimes Unit. Art vandalism, an exploding suspect, pornography, rat poison, Gilbert and Sullivan musicals, secret societies...and not a single suspect in sight. The killer they're chasing has a dark history, a habit of staying hidden, and time itself on his side. Detectives May and Bryant are racing the clock and this time the bell may be tolling for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\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.
