The Case of the Half-baked Mummies

Little fazes Detective Inspector Louise Sargant, not bad sandwiches, not sarcastic crime scene analysts, and certainly not her puppyish partner Jay. But when a mummified body turns up in Highgate Cemetery, suspended by chains in an allegedly mummy-free tomb, even she suspects this case might be more “Mulder and Scully” than “motive and opportunity”.

Add in occult graffiti, a missing sex worker, an interior gardener who may or may not be involved, the evidence saying the victim died after being mummified, and the weirdness piles up faster than traffic on the M25.

As Louise and Jay dig deeper into London’s murky underworld, from squats to sex work, academia to ancient rituals, they uncover a chilling find with ramifications beyond this case.

Sharp, sassy, and infused with humour and 90s pop culture references, that feels like The X-Files wandered into Line of Duty via Black Books
