Publisher Description

It starts with a phone call to Superintendent Dalziel from an old friend asking for help. But where it ends is a very different story.

Gina Wolfe has come to Mid-Yorkshire in search of her missing husband, believed dead. Her fiance, Commander Mick Purdy of the Met, thinks Dalziel should be able to take care of the job.

What none of them realize is how events set in motion decades ago will come to a violent head on this otherwise ordinary summer's day.

"The latest entry in the series has a cunning twist - all action takes place in 24 hours. And, just like those days when you pull an all-nighter, you can't believe how much has happened in just 24 hours. In the space of the day, Hill creates several three-dimensional new characters, and gives the Fat Man some touching, and never-before-seen, vulnerability. Not the place to start the series, but a terrific addition for those of us who already love these Yorkshire cops."

    " Although I enjoyed this book a lot, I don't think it is up to the very high standard of some of his other Dalziel and Pascoe books. It was an easy weekend read, I just felt that some of the outer characters didn't really flesh out enough to make them really interesting. Would certainly recommend it to Hill fans however. "

    " Another great entry in the Dalziel & Pascoe series. The action takes place over the course of one very eventful day. I love how Hill always keeps this series fresh and worth reading. "

    " The only thing I regret about this book is that it is the last of the Dalziel & Pascoe stories. All of the characters - Andy, Peter and Wield, Bowler and Novello still have plenty of life in them. It's a shame to say goodbye. "

    " Very good read. I really like how the characters grow and develop over time. I'd only read this book if you've read others in the series. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " This book lacked the necessary character development to make me care about what happened to the characters. Perhaps I'd have liked it better if I'de read a Dalziel & Pascoe mystery before. "

    " There is such a seeming ease in handling the complicated strains of this Dalziel and Pascoe mystery, you feel on every page that you are in the hands of a master. And you are! A great story, with compelling characters and the wonderfully awful Dalziel. What could be better? "

    " Excellent British mystery! There is a funny older detective who survived a bombing and is trying to get back in the game. It has serious enough content but is well written and a fast read. "

    " I would have thought this an acceptable book from a first time author, or from one of the lesser names in the crime-writing genre. BUT - this is by Reginald Hill so I expected much, much moore. A sensible plot with everything resolved at the end would have helped. Very disappointing. "

    " As with all of Hill's Dalziel/Pascoe police stories, this one is superb. I read a lot of books, but only a few authors make me laugh out loud. Hill's wry expressions are sheer brilliance. "

    " In 24 hours, Dalziel agrees to help a woman determine if her missing husband of 7 years is dead or alive. The twist at the end has you thumbing back through the book looking for all those hints and foreshadowings you missed! "
