The Water Room (Bryant & May Mysteries)

backleaf:
It's a subterranean case of secrets, lies, and multiple murder that defies not only the law but reason itself, which means it's perfect for detection's oddest -- and oldest -- couple, John May and Arthur Bryant of London's Peculiar Crimes Unit...
How can an elderly recluse *drown* in a chair in her otherwise dry basement? That's what John May and Arthur Bryant set out to discover in a city rife with shady real estate developers, racist threats, dodgy academicians, and someone dangerously obsessed with Egyptian mythology. Linking them all is an evil lurking in London's vast and forgotten underground river system -- a killer with the eerie ability to strike anywhere, anytime, without leaving a clue. Can Bryant and May stop the dark tide of murder before it claims them, too?
"I'd follow these guys anywhere just to hear them think out loud."

I really loved this one! Found it in the Passages gift shop on a crossing with BC Ferries. Great place to find books, according to my daughters, GateGypsy and Onnada!
