Author Description

"Hill is among our most underrated mystery writers. His books are truly superb, filled with understated but keen-edged humor, vivid plotting, a knowing portrayal of humanity at its most vulnerable, and an intensity that is dazzling. His latest, featuring those three endearing Yorkshire coppers, Pascoe, Dalziel, and Wield, is a gripping drama about the horrors of the Great War intertwined with a story about the greed behind modern-day drug research. A fine read that should be on every mystery fan's must-have list". - Booklist"Hill's 14th case for Dalziel and Pascoe gradually reveals its several mysteries coming together with the fatal majesty of icebergs hoving into view, till they collide in a dazzling climax". - Kirkus
