One of Britains most consistently excellent crime novelists Marcel Berlins, The Times
A friendship renewed; a marriage going sour; Harry Bentick heads for the Lake District not knowing if hes going in search of something or running away.
Then two girls are found murdered in the high fells, and suddenly theres no doubt about it.
Hes running.
Set in his native Cumberland, this was Reginald Hills very first novel, a unique blend of detective story, psychological thriller and Buchanesque adventure that was to lay the groundwork for many books to come, taking him into the top ranks of British crime fiction.
One of Britains most consistently excellent crime novelists
The Times
Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction
Observer
So far out in front that he need not bother looking over his shoulder
Sunday Telegraph
Hills wit is the constant, ironic foil to his vision
Mail 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.
