Completely loopy

Some familiar names appear in unexpected pages, as Melvyn Freake, of Wanstead Meeting, recently told Eye.

However, the Bryant and May that appear in the thriller White Corridor, by Christopher Fowler, are not match-producing Friends William and Francis but octogenarian sleuths Arthur and John. These ‘golden age detectives in a modern world’ are founder members of the London Peculiar Crimes Unit and, in the course of their investigations, Friends make the odd cameo appearance.
