Andy Dalziel was preoccupied with the illegal book that one of his Sergeants was running on who was to be appointed as the new Chief Constable...and how to make sure his own bet paid off. But when a battered Ford Escort containing one very dead Italian turned up in the police car park, Peter Pascoe and his bloated superior were plunged into an investigation that made internal police politics look like child's play.

"Not bad at all. I did get a little confused over the relationship of the three members of the police force. I think it would take awhile for them to grow on one. But the plotting was well done, the murders were not easily solved, and the final mystery was a nice touch." — Debra (4 out of 5 stars)

" Hill is more than a generic crime writer. His characters grow, live, love and die. His plots are interesting. His descriptions as crisp as they should be. The TV series wasn't bad either. "
" Three is the top mark I give to mysteries. Love the Pascoe and Dalziel series. "
" Early Dalziel/Pascoe series, so not at his best. However, he is without a doubt my favorite author! "
" I am currently reading through this Dalziel and Pascoe series, and they fairly good. "
" very clever!! "
" For a good comfort mystery read, you can't beat Reginald Hill. Child's Play is one of my favorites: Wield comes out of the closet, crazy inheritance schemes are afoot, Dalziel is his charming Fat Man self. "
" Another great read, Reginald Hill's novels rarely disappoint "
" This is probably my favorite Dalziel/Pascoe mystery, mainly because of its focus on Wield, a big favorite of mine. To say anything else would involve spoilers... "
Reginald Hill has been widely published both in England and the United States. He received Britain’s most coveted mystery writers award, the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award, as well as the Golden Dagger for his Dalziel/Pascoe series. He lives with his wife in Cumbria, England.
