When an elusive criminal known as Mr. Fox kills a police
officer while escaping from a holding cell, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is
outraged. As they attempt to track the murderer down, they discover Mr. Fox has
been using different identities and altering his appearance.
Meanwhile, an attractive young woman in a polka dot dress
dies from a fall in a London tube station. She was on her way home from her job
at a department store cosmetics counter, and security camera footage shows that
although she was wearing four inch high heels, she didn’t stumble. But
detectives Arthur Bryant and John May dig deeper, and wonder if there is any
significance to a sticker found on her coat. When a university student goes
missing in a tube station, another sticker is found, and the detectives are
sure there is a connection.
Bryant is a rumpled, aged detective, who pours over his
books but is not opposed to using new technology, as long as he’s not the one
tapping the keys. May is the silver haired ladies’ man, a stylish dresser, and
smooths over the mussed feathers caused by his unorthodox partner. A thoroughly
entertaining series, a police procedural uniquely British.
