Reginald Hills best-selling duo Dalziel & Pascoe return in this brilliant complex & ultimately moving crime novel: Reginald Hill is probably the best living crime writer in the English-speaking world
- 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
- except perhaps for a few more jests. The dead-pan joker Franny Roote is working on his dead friends unfinished biography of Beddoes & with unfinished business between himself & DCI Pascoe to deal with as well. Three times Pascoe has been wrong about Roote. This time hes determined to leave no grave-stone unturned as he tries to prove that the ex-con & aspiring academic is mad bad & dangerous to know. 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.
