VJ Books Presents Author Christopher Fowler!

Christopher Fowler is the award-winning author of many novels and short story collections, and the Bryant & May mystery novels, which record the adventures of two Golden Age detectives investigating impossible London crimes.

The latest installment of the Bryan & May series, London Bridge is Falling Down, finds the brilliant duo of Arthur Bryant and John May as they uncover a nefarious plot behind the seemingly innocuous death of an old lady—and when the case leads them to London Bridge, it all comes down on the Peculiar Crimes Unit. With the help of some of their more certifiable informants, the detectives follow the strangest of clues in an investigation that will lead them through forgotten alleyways to the city’s oldest bridge in search of a desperate killer.

But just when the case appears to be solved, they discover that the victim, Mrs. Hoffman, was smarter than anyone imagined. There’s a bigger game afoot that could have terrible consequences.

Fowler is a five-time British Fantasy Award-winner. His first thriller was the bestseller 'Roofworld'. Subsequent novels include 'Spanky', 'Disturbia', 'Psychoville' and 'Calabash'. His books have been optioned by everyone from Guillermo Del Toro ('Spanky') to Jude Law ('Psychoville').
