- Independent In T.L. Beddoes play Deaths Jest-Book the dead wont lie still in the grave & the living often wish they could. & Reginald Hills novel is much the same

Meanwhile Edgar Wield Quixote-like rides to the rescue of a child in danger & finds hes got a rent-boy under his wing. In return the boy tips him off about the heist of a pricesless treasure & soon Wieldys torn between protecting the boy & doing his duty. His superiors might have worries but DC Hat Bowlers looking forward to a blissful New Year with the girl of his dreams. The trouble is that that girl is Rye Pomona & her dreams are filled with a horror too terrible to tell
- even though Charley Penn throws all his energies into trying to do exactly that. & over all this activity broods the huge form of Mid-Yorkshire CIDs First Mover DS Andy Dalziel. As trouble builds the Fat Man discovers (as many deities before him) that omniscience can be more trouble than its worth & that sometimes all omnipotence means is that you can have any colour you like as long as its black.
