Good Morning Midnight

Hailed by the New York Times as the master of form and sorcerer of style, Reginald Hill is undoubtedly at the top of his form in this gripping story of a mysterious death that echoes one in the past. Somewhere distantly a church clock began to strike midnight. In the muffling fog, it sounded both familiar and threatening, like the bell on a warning buoy tolled by the oceans rhythmic swell. Good Morning, Midnight Yorkshires coppers Andy Dalziel and Peter Pascoe are investigating the suicide of prominent businessman Pal Maciver. It seems to be a clear-cut case he shot himself while sitting at his desk in his locked study. But things are not quite what they seem. When Pascoe digs deeper, he finds threads going back to another, almost identical death -- that of Macivers father.
