About

A man whose wife has been missing for a year gets some strange phone calls-as well as a visit from Detective Inspector Pascoe-in a novella that pays homage to Edgar Allan Poe.

A female journalist faces skepticism from the police when she reports an assault, and finds she may have to confront the attacker herself.

A family man wonders what sort of trouble the previous occupants of his new house were mixed up in-and finds some clues that were left behind in the move.

These stories-and four more-from the author of the series starring Inspector Peter Pascoe and Superintendent Andrew Dalziel take us on a tour of the shadowy corners of Yorkshire, England, from a stormy churchyard to a gloomy attic, with tales of lust, greed, envy, and, of course, murder.

Reviews

"A lot of people write classic detective stories, but Reginald Hill is one of the elite few who write classy classics."
The Baltimore Sun
"Hill's polished, sophisticated novels are intelligently written and permeated with his sly and delightful sense of humor. More than most other mystery novels, Hill's Dalziel-Pascoe novels are enjoyable as much for their characters as for their complicated, suspenseful mystery plots."
The Christian Science Monitor
"One of the best of a generation of mystery writers."
Dallas Morning News
