'Few writers in the genre today have Hill’s gifts: formidable intelligence, quick humour, compassion and a prose style that blends elegance and grace.'
The Sunday Times
A tangled web of politics, hatred and scandal in a small Welsh town where arson and child abuse go hand in hand.
Joe Sixsmith is going west. But only as far as Wales where they keep a welcome in the hillside and the Boyling Corner Choir has been invited to the Llanffugiol Choral Festival. Trouble is, no one seems to have heard of Llanffugiol, and all they find on the hillside is a burning house with a mysterious woman trapped inside.
Soon Joe is surrounded by a whole bevy of suspicious characters, not to mention the kind of criminous confusion that turns into utter chaos when confronted with the famous Sixsmith detection technique.
Joe is no quitter, though. Doggedly, aided by little more than that instinct for truth which is his unique talent, he moves forward over the space of a single weekend to uncover crimes which have been buried for years.
'Hill is an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift ... This is high-speed pantomine ... with plenty of sly dialogue to spice the action'
The Mail on Sunday
'Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction.'
The Observer
