Synopsis

'Reginald Hill is one of the few English crime writers who can hold their own against the Americans...there is a wonderful wit and dexterity about his writing' - KATE ATKINSON 'Few writers in the genre today have Hill's gifts' - SUNDAY TIMES Joe Sixsmith is going to Wales, where they keep a welcome in the hillside and the Boyling Corner Choir has been invited to compete in the Llanffugiol Choral Festival. But instead of a welcome, all they find on the hillside is a burning house with a mysterious woman trapped inside. Add to this an aggressive policeman, a patronizing headmaster, a drug-dealing student, a gang of locals bent on sabotaging the festival, and a caretaker's daughter who seems ready to go to extraordinary lengths to take care of Joe, and there is the kind of criminous confusion which the famous Sixsmith detective technique soon turns into utter chaos.

About this title

About the Author:

Reginald Hill was brought up in Cumbria, and has returned there after many years in Yorkshire. With his first crime novel, A Clubbable Woman, he was hailed as 'the crime novel's best hope' and twenty years on he has more than fulfilled that promise.

Review:

'Hill is an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift' Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday 'Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction' Observer 'This is high-speed pantomine! with plenty of sly dialogue to spice the action' Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday (of Singing the Sadness)
