The Death of Dalziel

The highly anticipated return of Dalziel and Pascoe, the hugely popular police duo and stars of the long-running BBC TV series, in a new psychological thriller.

Can it be true? Has the Fat Man really sung?

Caught in the blast of a huge Semtex explosion, the only thing preventing Superintendent Andy Dalziel from stepping through Death’s door might be his own size (and indomitable willpower).

As he lies on a hospital bed, it falls on DCI Peter Pascoe to seek justice for Andy. The security services have written it off as an accident the terrorist suspects have paid for their clumsiness with their lives.

Who, then, are the Knights Templar, a shadowy group exacting summary public justice on their enemies? Pascoe is certain of a conspiracy and the attempted murder of Yorkshire Polices most inept officer only convinces him further.

But if the plot is complex, the climax will prove astounding
