Reginald Hill

Mystery stories by the Diamond Dagger–winning author, “one of the masters of the modern police procedural” (The Sunday Telegraph).

A man whose wife has been missing for a year gets some strange phone calls—as well as a visit from Detective Inspector Pascoe—in a novella that pays homage to Edgar Allan Poe.

A female journalist faces skepticism from the police when she reports an assault, and finds she may have to confront the attacker herself.

A family man wonders what sort of trouble the previous occupants of his new house were mixed up in—and finds some clues that were left behind in the move.

These stories—and four more—from the author of the series starring Inspector Peter Pascoe and Superintendent Andrew Dalziel take us on a tour of the shadowy corners of Yorkshire, England, from a stormy churchyard to a gloomy attic, with tales of lust, greed, envy, and, of course, murder.

“One of Britain’s most consistently excellent crime novelists. ” —The Times (London)

“Hill is never predictable. ” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Reginald Hill is quite simply one of the best at work today. ” —The Boston Globe

The Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries

Pascoe's Ghost: And Other Brief Chronicles of Crime

Four novellas in the “outstanding procedural series” exploring the past—and future—of this pair of Yorkshire police detectives (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review).

British investigators Dalziel and Pascoe have been praised as “witty, intelligent … two of the more interesting police detectives in modern crime fiction” (Publishers Weekly). In this collection, their Diamond Dagger Award–winning creator presents four imaginative tales featuring the duo.

The first story explores the chilling start of the Dalziel and Pascoe partnership. In another, they investigate the fate of a woman no one has seen for a year—except her brother, who claims he is being haunted by her ghost. Then the detectives keep vigil at an isolated farmhouse, waiting to see what is making things go bump in the night. Finally, we jump in time to the twenty-first century and the partners’ last case: the first man murdered on the moon.

“Reginald Hill is a mystery writer who is also a very good novelist… . [He] uses the police procedural format to get at something deeper than the solution of a crime… . Hill can capture a moment, an emotion, or a character with the stroke of a few words. ” —The Washington Post Book World

Asking for the Moon-Four Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries: Four Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries

A New York Times Notable Book: A British detective plays God, literally, in this twisting crime thriller—“The climax is devastating” (The Times, London).

Superintendent Andrew Dalziel, while drunk, has witnessed a woman being fatally shot—but her husband claims it was an accident, and everyone seems to be buying his story. His partner, Pascoe, meanwhile, is looking into chatty letters from an anonymous sender who says her resolution for the new year is to commit suicide.

In the midst of all this, Dalziel is participating in a locally produced medieval mystery play—and has been cast in the role of God. Playing opposite him, as Lucifer, is the very man he suspects of murder …

“Hill’s most ambitious Dalziel/Pascoe novel yet—and one whose humor, keenness, and insight place him securely in the company of Ruth Rendell and P. D. James. ” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“If further evidence were needed, this latest mystery confirms Hill’s place among top British writers who produce solid stories of detection that succeed as first-rate novels exploring human character… . A powerful ending. ” —Publishers Weekly

“No other genre author … writes with such feeling and understanding of silently unhappy women as does Mr. Hill in his tender character portraits of the town wives and daughters. ” —The New York Times Book Review
