The PCU is given outlandish/fantastic cases to solve - involving the alleged occult or fiendish. Think of X-Files (the humor as well as the spookiness) with Scully & Mulder refusing to retire. Entire series available on Kindle.

hm, i've got "the Victoria Vanishes" on my wishlist at fictionwise. i was hoping they would be similar to the "Department of Dead Ends" stories by Roy Vickers (which are sadly not available as ebooks and out of print even in paper, i think) which i love. i've got an old pocket book of them but i've not had any luck finding any others so far although i'm still looking (but mostly hoping one day they'll be available as ebooks). maybe i'll move the Peculiar Crimes Unit up to the top of my list.
