Dalziel & Pascoe

Death's Jest-Book: Dalziel and Pascoe, Book 20 : Dalziel and Pascoe, Book 20

BOOK EIGHTEEN IN THE DALZIEL AND PASCOE SERIES

Ex-convict and aspiring academic, Franny Roote, has started writing enigmatic letters to DCI Peter Pascoe who immediately smells a rat. DS Edgar Wield, intervening in a suspected kidnapping, takes a vulnerable rentboy under his wing, one who is hiding an earth-shattering secret. And young DC Bowler is looking forward to a weekend away with his girlfriend – but her dreams are filled with a horror too terrifying to share. Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Dalziel, lording it over his team, is famed for his omniscience. But even he is unable to foresee the disaster towards which they are all tumbling…

“Reginald Hill is probably the best living crime writer in the English-speaking world.” INDEPENDENT.
