"Oh, joy, a new Peculiar Crimes Unit case by Christopher Fowler . . . the best fun is running all over the city with these amiable partners."--The New York Times Book Review

The brilliant Arthur Bryant and John May take the late, late shift in a cat-and-mouse hunt with a killer who preys on his victims at the same time every night--the lonely hour of 4 A.M.

When a man is found hanging upside down inside a willow tree on Hampstead Heath, surrounded by a baffling assortment of occult objects, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. Was this a botched satanic ritual pulled off by bored teenagers, a gang initiation, or the work of a mastermind with grander intentions? Bryant and May set off in search of answers and are soon reminded that London is a city steeped in blood and magic.

When another body is pulled from the river at dawn, it becomes clear that a killer lurks in the night. To catch him, the PCU switches to graveyard shifts, but the team still comes up short. As they explore a night city where the normal rules do not apply, they're drawn deeper into a case that involves murder, arson, kidnapping, blackmail, loneliness, and bats.

May takes a technological approach, while Bryant goes in search of his usual academics and misfits for help, for this investigation reveals impossibilities at every turn. How do you stop a killer who appears not to exist? Luckily, impossibilities are what the Peculiar Crimes Unit does best.

IRobot Roomba 3 year warranty
My roomba stopped working as it should. It took two claims to get things taken care of but at the end, I was given a gift card for the original purchase price, which I used to buy a brand new roomba. 😁 so im satisfied and purchased another warranty for the new one.

Great insurance!
It worked wonders for me! I sent back my vacuum after a year of using it because a broken spinning wheel and they repaired it. Then, three weeks before the insurance cover expired, a lightning storm occurred in my area and my vacuum didn’t work anymore, they said they couldn’t fix it and they sent me a full refund. Of course I’ll recommend Asurion insurance!

Do not purchase. BBB will help
Don’t waste you money on this if you’re purchasing a vacuum costing you 6-700.00 or more. We have completed the claims process twice so far, called more time than I like to admit. Bought extremely large boxes and packaging and tape. Drove to ups, waited for ups only to not have our unit repaired. This last claim which was 24 hrs after we received the “fixed” item back was in the companies possession for just two hours when we were sent a msg stating they could not repeat the issues and it was on it’s was back AGAIN. So without a working vacuum for weeks it is now headed back with the same issues. The customer service line assure us they would not let it ship out and would instead keep it and a supervisor would check it and found but 10 minutes after my call I received a tracking number. Save yourself the headache and insure through someone else. Vac sounds like a power saw with rocks in it and won’t clean. Company see that as normal. Told many lies and still repair/.refund

Delivered on What They Promised
Bought an iRobot Roomba i4+ about 1 1/2 years ago and saw this as an option for a protection plan. I was skeptical, as I know that plans similar to this one can be filled with contractual Loop holes that do not benefit the buyer. HOWEVER, this one is legitimate and came through for me when my vacuum was essentially falling apart…as I was reimbursed the full amount that I paid for it. I just purchased another iRobot, along with the same protection plan……so, from my experience, I highly recommend it.

Quick, Simple, and Stand Behind what they sell.
Filed a claim and immediately received a response with instructions. Once I mailed the defective product, with the provided mailing label, I received my refund. Quick, simple, and honest.
