New Dalziel and Pascoe novel from Britain’s finest male crime writer: ‘Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction’ Tom Hiney, Observer
A man drowns. Another dies in a motorbike crash. Two accidents … yet in a pair of so-called Dialogues sent to the Mid-Yorkshire Gazette as entries in a short story competition, someone seems to be taking responsibility for the deaths.
In Mid-Yorkshire CID these claims are greeted with disbelief. But when the story is leaked to television and a third indisputable murder takes place, Dalziel and Pascoe find themselves playing a game no one knows the rules of against an opponent known only as the Wordman.
• The biggest campaign yet for Dalziel and Pascoe, exploiting the link with the 10m rated hit BBC tv series – BBC to show four more films including Dialogues
• Radio advertising on Heart FM in London and the Midlands to reach over two million listeners
• Video broadcast on the internet and on railway station plasma screens
• National outdoor posters at railway stations and the London Underground, and Sunday press ads
• Bookseller front cover
• Exceptional reviews and coverage received for this, the most literary and intruiging mystery of the year from the king of crime
• Hardback sales are up by 50%
