In the space of a few days, a series of events will set Peter Pascoe and Andy Dalziel off on a case where the stakes have never been higher or closer to home. First, an attempt is made to abduct Peter Pascoe's wife, Ellie. Then Ellie's friend, Daphne Aldermann, is assaulted by a man lurking around the Pascoes' house. Convinced that the crimes are somehow linked to one of Peter Pascoe's cases, either current or past, Dalziel and Pascoe race to find the culprit.
As the search goes on, Peter sends Ellie and their daughter Rosie with Daphne Aldermann to Daphne's vacation home accompanied by Detective Constable Shirley Novello as a police escort. Soon Novello begins to wonder if the stalker drawn to the Pascoe family is connected not by Peter but, rather, by Ellie.

About The Author
Reginald Hill is a native of Cumbria and a former resident of Yorkshire where his Dalziel and Pascoe ( 'the best detective duo on the scene bar none' Daily Telegraph) novels are set. The books have now been adapted into a successful BBC television series.
Reginald Hill says he always regarded himself as a writer of some sort, but until he wrote A Clubbable Woman which introduced Andy Dalziel and a young Peter Pascoe, he had managed to avoid putting his theory to the test. Since then he has received ample confirmation.
Latterly he has cast his net further south with the introduction of Joe Sixsmith, the serendipitous PI whose appearances have helped confirm Hill's claim as 'our finest living crime writer' (Sunday Telegraph). Recently awarded the Crime Writers' Association Cartier Diamond Dagger for his lifetime contribution to the genre, Hill says he hopes that this is a bit premature and the best is yet to come!
