Child's Play (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Geraldine Lomas's son went missing in Italy during World War Two, but the eccentric old lady never accepted his death.

Now she is dead, leaving the Lomas beer fortune to be divided between an animal rights organization, a fascist front and a services benevolent fund.

As disgruntled relatives gather at the graveside, the funeral is interrupted by a middle-aged man in an Italian suit, who falls to his knees crying 'Mama!'

Andy Dalziel is preoccupied with the illegal book one of his sergeants is running, on who is to be appointed as the new Chief Constable - and how to make his own bet pay off. But when a battered Ford Escort containing one dead Italian turns up in the police car park, Peter Pascoe and his bloated superior are plunged into an investigation that makes internal politics look like child's play...

"Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction"
TOM HINEY, 'Observer'

"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'

Autorenporträt

Reginald Hill was brought up in Cumbria, and has returned there after many years in Yorkshire. With his first crime novel, A Clubbable Woman, he was hailed as 'the crime novel's best hope' and twenty years on he has more than fulfilled that promise.
