The “master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries” sends his
Yorkshire detectives back to college to be taught a lesson in murder
(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. If Alison
Girling, former principal of England’s Holm Coultram College, died
in an avalanche in Austria, why has her skeleton been unearthed on
campus? While no love is lost between conservative detective Andrew
Dalziel and the entirety of Liberal Arts, his attention to the grim
discovery must be paid. But when he and Peter Pascoe scour the ivory
tower for answers, they discover that the shady faculty and creepy
student body have more to bury than just one corpse. Try two—and
counting. As Pascoe is sidelined by an old college flame, Dalziel’s
suspicions of academia are becoming dire. Because the deeper he digs
for secrets, the dirtier they get in this “steadily, edgily amusing
. . . dark comedy” (Kirkus Reviews). An Advancement of Learning
is the 2nd book in the Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries, but you may enjoy
reading the series in any order.
