In the Gold Dagger Award'€“winning crime novel, a young man writing a history of London'€™s Underground must contend with a killer living under his own roof All his young life, Jarvis Stringer has obsessed over the London Underground. Now he'€™s writing a detailed history of the subway, and to make money in the meantime he rents out cheap rooms in the crumbling former schoolhouse he'€™s inherited, all to desperate single mothers, buskers, subway vigilantes, and assorted misfits. But when one of his boarders turns out to be a murderer, Jarvis becomes distracted from his work'€”to say the very least. King Solomon'€™s Carpet is an absorbing depiction of London'€™s subterranean landscape and of those eking out invisible lives beneath society'€™s surfaces.
