Pascoe's Ghost — Reginald Hill

Mystery stories by the Diamond Daggerâ€"winning author, "one of the masters of the modern police procedural" (The Sunday Telegraph).

 


A man whose wife has been missing for a year gets some strange phone calls -- as well as a visit from Detective Inspector Pascoe -- in a novella that pays homage to Edgar Allan Poe.


 


A female journalist faces skepticism from the police when she reports an assault, and finds she may have to confront the attacker herself.


 


A family man wonders what sort of trouble the previous occupants of his new house were mixed up in -- and finds some clues that were left behind in the move.


 


These stories -- and four more -- from the author of the series starring Inspector Peter Pascoe and Superintendent Andrew Dalziel take us on a tour of the shadowy corners of Yorkshire, England, from a stormy churchyard to a gloomy attic, with tales of lust, greed, envy, and, of course, murder.
