Midnight Fugue by Reginald Hill (HarperCollins, £17.99)
12:30pm Tuesday 23rd June 2009 in
MORE delight for Dalziel and Pascoe fans as the mid-Yorkshire detectives try to solve a murder case which embroils them in corruption in the Met, the murky goings-on in the world of “investigative journalism” and the even murkier world of national politics.
There are the normal spats between the pair, doubts over whether the Fat Man is up to par after his convalescence, and some deliciously wicked playing of both the ethics of sensationalist journalists and political apparatchiks.
This is Hill at his sharpest.
