In this landmark collection, with a foreword from Val McDermid, the very best of Reginald Hill's short stories have been brought together for the first time.
Reginald Hill is one of Britain's greatest classic crime writers. His Dalziel and Pascoe novels, set in a fictional Mid-Yorkshire, are amongst some of the best-loved in the genre, and here the detective duo appear in three witty, twisty, delightful and always surprising stories which will appeal to Hill's legions of fans.
Other tales range from cosmopolitan Rome to the wilds of the Lake District, and display all his trademark humour, playfulness and sheer clever plotting. And in each there is always an unexpected sting in the tail…
Whether historical or contemporary, funny or tragic, these gripping mysteries will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
