Synopsis

It was a crime of passion in onc of England's  great houses, an open-and-shut case. But thirty  years later, when the convicted nanny is freed, then  spirited off to America before she can talk,  Yorkshire's Superintendent Dalziel retums to the scene  of the crime with Inspector Pascoe, determined to  dig up the corpus delecti he investigated a  generation before. Did the wrong aristocrat hang?  Dalziel and Pascoe find decades-old clues that  implicate a member of the royal family. When one of their prime leads is found dead, Dalziel is put "on  leave"--and heads for New York to learn what  the Nanny knows. Back home, Pascoe walks a thin  line, quietly pursuing a case someone is trying to  bury. Stiff upper lips do tell tale, but Dalziel and Pascoe discover on both sides of the Atlantic that it's hell on those trying to unearth the  truth.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Quite simply a near perfect crime novel . . . . Hill gives us a masterful composite of character, crime, and comedy. A delight on every level."--Booklist.

"A dynamic, surprising mystery! . . . The novel's chief rewards, however, are those of character: Dalziel is a brilliant, bearish delight."--Publishers Weekly

About the Author:
