Description

Hill is an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday
Fifteen years ago they moved everyone out of Dendale. They needed a new reservoir and an old community seemed a cheap price to pay. But four inhabitants of the valley could not be moved, for nobody knew where they were: three little girls who had gone missing, and the prime suspect in their disappearance, Benny Lightfoot.

This was Andy Dalziels worst case and now he looks set to relive it. Another child goes missing in the next valley, and old fears arise as someone sprays the deadly message on Danby bridge: BENNYS BACK!

Reviews

On Beulah Height must rank as his best yet Reginald Hills novels are really dances to the music of time
Ian Rankin, Scotland on Sunday

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

Author Bio

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.
