The Death of Dalziel: A Dalziel and Pascoe Novel

The Death of Dalziel: A Dalziel and Pascoe Novel

by ReginaldHill (Author)

Synopsis

This work explains the highly anticipated return of Dalziel and Pascoe, the hugely popular police duo and stars of the long-running BBC TV series, in a new psychological thriller. Can it be true? Has the Fat Man really sung? Caught in the blast of a huge Semtex explosion, the only thing preventing Superintendent Andy Dalziel from stepping through Death's door might be his own size (and indomitable willpower). As he lies on a hospital bed, it falls on DCI Peter Pascoe to seek justice for Andy. The security services have written it off as an accident - the terrorist suspects have paid for their clumsiness with their lives. Who, then, are the Knights Templar, a shadowy group exacting summary public justice on their enemies? Pascoe is certain of a conspiracy and the attempted murder of Yorkshire Police's most inept officer only convinces him further. But if the plot is complex, the climax will prove astounding!

Media Reviews
Praise for 'The Stranger House': 'Grim, gory, fascinating, enraging and entertaining.' Independent 'A mystery novel but far more than that. It's gripping... Hill is wonderful.' The Times 'Exhilarating.' Sunday Times 'You're enthralled by the cunning of the plotting... great.' Observer 'It's a complex, multi-layered plot... it takes a master like Mr Hill to turn it into such an absorbing and atmospheric mystery.' Sunday Telegraph Praise for 'Good Morning, Midnight': 'A real treat. The characters are deftly drawn, the plot constantly delivers surprises and the assured narrative demonstrates again what a terrific writer he is.' Observer 'As absorbing and as enjoyable as anything Hill has produced. The writing is brilliant, witty and erudite.' Evening Standard 'Probably the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking world.' Independent Reviews for 'Good Morning, Midnight': 'Few writers in the genre today have Hill's gifts: formidable intelligence, quick humour, compassion and a prose style that blends elegance and grace.' Donna Leon, Sunday Times 'Reginald Hill's novels are really dances to the music of time, his heroes and villains interconnecting, their stories entwining.' Ian Rankin 'The fertility of Hill's imagination, the range of his power, the sheer quality of his literary style never ceases to delight.' Val McDermid
