White Corridor Summary

It’s an “impossible” crime—a member of the Peculiar Crimes Unit killed inside a locked autopsy room populated only by the dead and to which only four PCU members had a key. And to make matters worse, the Unit has been shut down for a forced “vacation” and Bryant and May are stuck in a van miles away in the Dartmoor countryside during a freak snowstorm on their way to a convention of psychics.

White Corridor Reviews

"Starred Review. Blending humor and brilliant detection.... Fowler shows himself to be a master of the 'impossible crime' tale.... Excellent." - Publishers Weekly.

Starred Review: "Sherlock Holmes meets Inspector Clouseau in this mordant, award-winning series in which Fowler gleefully skewers religious zealots and government officials alike."—Booklist.
