The game the two young children were playing was called Witch-Hunter. Spying a woman sitting alone in a church courtyard, they curse her and wait for her to die. And die she does. Her body is found in St Bride's Church - a building that no-one else has entered.
Unfortunately Bryant & May are refused the case. Instead they're investigating why the wife of their greatest enemy has suddenly started behaving strangely, including embarrassing him at official functions. He seems convinced that someone is trying to drive her insane; she believes she's the victim of witchcraft.
There's a brutal stabbing in a London park and suddenly a connection is found between the two investigations. As Arthur Bryant sets off on a trail that leads to Bedlam and Bletchley Park, and into a world of madness, codes and the secret of London's strangest relic, the rest of the Peculiar Crimes Unit are tested to their limits.
Probing behind the city's facades, they uncover a world of private clubs, hidden passageways, covert loyalties and murder. It seems that this case might not just end in disaster - it might also get them all killed...
