Plot Summary
When elderly detective Arthur Bryant encounters a troubled woman leaving a London pub late one evening, he thinks little of the incident. By morning she has been found murdered at the exact spot where he saw her. More puzzling still, Bryant discovers that the pub from which she emerged appears not to exist. As Bryant and May investigate, they uncover a mystery entwined with London's forgotten streets, vanished landmarks and hidden history. Combining classic detection with atmospheric evocations of the capital's past, The Victoria Vanishes is one of Christopher Fowler's most acclaimed Bryant & May adventures.
