	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Seventy-Seven Clocks: A Bryant & May Mystery by Christopher Fowler
		Fowler’s first Bryant and May had a basic flaw in that one of the primary characters was presumed killed in the first few pages yet the dust jacket announced this as the “first” of the Bryant and May mysteries.
		The octogenarian Arthur Bryant is being interviewed for a biography of the famous team when he is asked to define “peculiar” which leads to the reminiscence that comprises the body of the book.
		As a result, Bryant and May ask her to assist them in this most peculiar crime and in the process of tracking the Whistable clan she learns a great deal about herself even the reason for her terror of the night.

	NBA star Bryant wants ... - May 06, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bryant is set to enter a plea next week on charges he raped the 19-year-old woman in his room at the resort where she worked.
		Bryant's lawyers had previously complained about use of the term "victim" to refer to the woman, because it implies a crime occurred and deprives the Los Angeles Lakers star of his right to be presumed innocent.
		Bryant, 25, has admitted having sex with the woman in their June 30 encounter at the posh Lodge and Spa at Cordillera in Edwards, Colorado.

	washingtonpost.com: Bryant May Have Conflicting Courts
		With free agents Karl Malone and Gary Payton joining Bryant and fellow all-star Shaquille O'Neal in Los Angeles next season, it's possible that the Lakers could be battling for a division title or high seed in the playoffs during the weeks when Bryant could be on trial.
		Bryant, a husband and father, has admitted to having sex with the woman who accused him, but he says it was consensual.
		Although Bryant was required to be present, he hardly needed to be reminded that he has been charged with "knowingly inflicted sexual intrusion or sexual penetration.

		Bryant, married and the father of a girl, has denied the rape charge, while admitting to consensual sex.

	CNN.com - Kobe Bryant's lawyers fight for medical records - Jan. 14, 2004
		Kobe Bryant's lawyers aren't likely to win one of the first major evidentiary skirmishes of the basketball star's sexual assault case -- a battle over the medical records of the woman who accuses him of raping her.
		Bryant's lawyers may have little chance of winning the medical records battle at this stage of trial, but they may just be trying to get "a few swings at the pitch," said Silverman.
		For now, the records remain under seal with the Eagle County court, but after Bryant's lawyers requested an evidentiary hearing Thursday to discuss the admissibility of the medical records, a resolution to the records battle could be on the horizon.

	Bryant’s accuser may drop out of case (printable version)
		DENVER — Kobe Bryant’s prosecutors said Wednesday he will be put on trial later this month, even as attorneys for the woman accusing the NBA star of rape suggested her participation is not a sure bet.
		Bryant has pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault, saying he had consensual sex with the woman at a Vail-area resort last summer.
		The judge has said the defense can present evidence about the woman’s sexual activities in the three days before the July 1, 2003, hospital exam, saying it is relevant to help determine the cause of her injuries, the source of DNA evidence and her credibility.

	Lab results support Bryant
		Bryant's lawyer, Pamela Mackey, laid a bombshell in a prior pretrial hearing when she suggested the 19-year-old woman had sex within hours after she said she was raped.
		If the woman did have consensual sex soon after she said she was raped by Bryant, then she also would have lied to police who were investigating the case.
		Prosecutors have said that DNA from someone other than Bryant was found on the underwear the woman wore when she went to the hospital and was the result of mistakenly putting on soiled underwear that had DNA from an earlier sexual episode.

		Bryant admits to having sex with his accuser (as I shall call her, because her identity has not been made public) in a Colorado hotel room.
		What if the Bryant case is just a matter of "he said, she said?" Already the sports talk radio and television shows are buzzing with the suggestion that in that event, Bryant cannot or should not be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
		When Bryant's lawyer cross-examines his accuser, and later, when the defense puts on its case, the defense attorney will want to provide evidence to the jury suggesting she is fabricating her claim.

		Attorneys for Kobe Bryant urged a federal judge on Monday to lift the anonymity of the woman accusing the Los Angeles Lakers star of rape, saying she should not be able to bring a "false accusation" in her civil lawsuit without being identified.
		Prosecutors have asked the judge in Kobe Bryant's sexual assault case to put the trial on hold indefinitely, saying courthouse gaffes have crippled the chances of seating an unbiased jury and suggesting the accuser is not ready to testify against the NBA star.
		Kobe Bryant's prosecutors called newly released details addressing the accuser's sex life "one sided" on Tuesday, saying they shouldn't be used to judge the merits of the sexual assault case against the NBA star.

	Kobe Bryant Case Dismissed - Crime
		According to Warner Bros. Studio's Celebrity Justice, Bryant may have negotiated an agreement with the alleged victim involving financial compensation and a letter of apology from Bryant, which ostensibly may have motivated her to discontinue her involvement in the criminal proceedings.
		Other sources surmise the alleged victim may have withdrawn from the case because the Colorado Supreme Court refused to consider an appeal of a ruling that would have allowed evidence of her sex life to be admitted at trial, despite the state's Rape Shield Law.
		Bryant's accuser originally claimed Bryant raped her in a hotel room in Eagle, Colorado, on June 30, 2003.

	Amazon.com: The Water Room (Bryant & May Mysteries): Books: Christopher Fowler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		And then we have Bryant and May, who are also not the usual fare (the Brit detectives who simmer with intelligence, neuroses and sex appeal), but who happen to be 70-something police officers who should have been retired years ago, who are fully capable of doing their jobs and who relish doing them.
		Bryant, however, ferrets out a bizarre element or three, and, after you toss in a hoard of suspects, some quietly brutal circumstances, and Bryant's ongoing penchant for providing a fascinating running commentary for whatever portion of London the team happens to be in, one has a novel that is irresistible by any standard.
		Bryant and May become involved at the request of the woman's brother, whose expertise is occasionally used by the unit, even as her death is classified as undetermined and the case is officially closed.

	Bookreporter.com - TEN SECOND STAIRCASE: A Bryant & May Mystery by Christopher Fowler
		TEN SECOND STAIRCASE, the latest Bryant and May novel, involves a series of locked room mysteries, in which a noted personality of some dubious repute (a controversial artist, a minor celebrity, a notorious pederast) is found dead under ambiguous circumstances, possibly by ill fortune or accident, but probably by murder most foul.
		Bryant is a curmudgeon, but one cannot help but embrace him for his penchant for rude and unpredictable --- yet dead-on --- practical jokes.
		May, while being the more approachable and pragmatic of the pair, has an unrepentantly sweet side to himself, manifested by his gentle doting upon April, his agoraphobic granddaughter who in TEN SECOND STAIRCASE joins the PCU as a full-time member and brings her canny powers of observation to the fore.

		When Bryant, 27, and his accuser settled the civil case, a brief statement from their lawyers did not reveal the terms.
