BOOK TWENTY TWO IN THE DALZIEL AND PASCOE SERIES
Gina Wolfe is searching for her missing husband, believed dead, and hopes Superintendent Andy Dalziel can help. What neither realize is that there are others on the same trail. A tabloid hack with some awkward enquiries about an ambitious MP's father. The politician's secretary who shares his suspicions. The ruthless entrepreneur in question – and the two henchmen out to make sure the past stays in the past.
Four stories, two mismatched detectives trying to figure it all out, and 24 hours in which to do it: Dalziel and Pascoe are about to learn the hard way exactly how much difference a day makes...
"Beautifully plotted and intriguingly resolved." THE TIMES.

      Hill is one of the best crime writers around, as he proves in the latest installment in his Dalziel/Pascoe procedurals. What makes it an outstanding listen is Jonathan Keeble's ability to portrait Dalziel as a complete hedonist while somehow keeping him lovable. And while Pascoe has mellowed through the years, Keeble allows just a hint of his priggish personality to sneak through in this fine performance. Hill delivers his usual assortment of fleshed-out villains, this time including a diminutive mastermind and her psychopathic brother. Keeble keeps it all sailing smoothly along at a lively pace while never missing a chance to milk all the humor out of Dalziel's famous bons mots. D.G. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from August 24, 2009
      The short time frame of British author Hill's strong 24th Dalziel and Pascoe procedural (after 2008's The Price of Butcher's Meat
      ) maximizes suspense without sacrificing either characterization or humor. Andy Dalziel, an irascible dinosaur of a police officer who's only just returned to the Mid-Yorkshire force after recovering from a serious injury, is tracked down by Gina Wolfe, whose policeman husband, Alex, has been missing for seven years. Alex disappeared while under investigation by internal affairs, who suspected him of leaking information to a major criminal target. Gina was on the verge of having Alex declared legally dead, until she received a recent magazine photo clearly showing Alex or his double. Dalziel's decision to assist Gina unofficially in finding out what became of Alex leads to his placing a colleague in jeopardy. Numerous subplots don't slow the pace, a testament to Hill's skill in putting all the pieces together.
