Exit Lines (The Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries #8)
by Reginald HillLinking the dying words of three slain strangers proves risky for Dalziel and Pascoe in this &“shrewd . . . and deft&” mystery (The New York Times). Reginald Hill &“raised the classical British mystery to new heights&” when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them &“the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction&” (Toronto Star). Adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC, the Gold Dagger Award–winning series is now available as ebooks. On the same night, three old men are offed: One is found in the icy rain sputtering the name &“Polly&” before expiring; another mumbles &“Charley&” after being beaten in his bathtub; and most alarmingly, the final words of the third, a cyclist knocked off the road by a drunk driver, implicate Superintendent Andrew Dalziel in the fatal hit and run. Bearing the brunt of three seemingly disparate investigations while proving his partner&’s innocence, Peter Pascoe follows a confounding trail that leads to one victim&’s family secrets, a shady retirement community, and corruption within the CID&’s ranks that&’s putting more than Dalziel&’s already dicey reputation in peril. Exit Lines is the 8th book in the Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
