Book recommendations for Alun and Gallivanter.

Good morning, gentlemen. :)

I recently stumbled upon a collection of books by a fellow named Christopher Fowler, the Bryant & May detective series.  I read The Invisible Code in one sitting during a transatlantic flight and my initial thoughts were "hmm, that was an original (if somewhat unusual) whodunnit, but highly entertaining nonetheless."  Laying awake in bed later that night, contemplating the novel further, it struck me that it was not only extremely well written, but also rather remarkable in its subtle ingenuity.  I took the trouble to subsequently research the author and discovered that Mr Fowler is a polymath of formidable repute, his achievements are truly quite extraordinary.  A very clever chap indeed.

Anyway, I have since read Seventy-Seven Clocks, The Water Room and Full Dark House in quick succession, enjoying them all tremendously.  I think they might be of particular interest to you, Mr G, very much in sync with your own innovative oeuvre.  I'm sure the volumes can be found online for a few quid, but would be happy to mail copies with my compliments if they prove elusive.

Best wishes. :)
