The brilliant new crime thriller featuring Dalziel and Pascoe from the Top Ten Bestseller, Reginald Hill
The locked-room suicide of Pal Maciver exactly mirrors that of his father ten years earlier. In both cases, Pals stepmother Kay Kafka is implicated. But Kay has a formidable champion in the form of Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel
An obstructive superior is just the first of DCI Peter Pascoes problems. Disentangling the tortured relations of the Maciver family is any detectives nightmare, and the fallout from Pals death reaches far beyond Yorkshire. For some, it seems, the heart is a locked room where it is always midnight
He is probably the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking world Andrew Taylor, Independent
Few writers in the genre today have Hills gifts: formidable intelligence, quick humour, compassion and a prose style that blends elegance and grace Donna Leon, Sunday Times
One of Britains most consistently excellent crime novelists Marcel Berlins, 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 Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday
Reginald Hills novels are really dances to the music of time, his heroes and villains interconnecting, their stories entwining Ian Rankin, Scotland on Sunday
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 novels best hope and thirty years on he has more than fulfilled that prophecy.
