Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel investigates murder close to home in this first crime novel featuring the much-loved detective team of Dalziel and Pascoe.
Reginald Hill was brought up in Cumbria, and has returned there after many years in Yorkshire. With his first crime novel, A Clubbable Woman, he was hailed as ‘the crime novel’s best hope’ and thirty years on he has more than fulfilled that prophecy.
'He is probably the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking world.' The Independent 'He just keeps getting better and better … Hill, a true master, never fails to shock and surprise.' Ian Rankin 'The finest male English contemporary crime writer. Compassionate, intelligent and entertaining' Val McDermid 'One of Britain's most consistently excellent crime novelists.' The Times 'An increasingly lyrical and always humorous writer, he is first and foremost an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift.' The Mail on Sunday ‘Hill is among the most consistently excellent and invigorating detective novelists’ TLS 'Few writers in the genre today have Hill's gifts: formidable intelligence, quick humour, compassion and a prose style that blends elegance and grace' Sunday Times
