Hill, Reginald Dialogues of the Dead
Harper 2002 0-00-651288-7 / 9780006512882 Paperback Very Good
Known for complex plotting, deep characterization and sly humor, Hill here adds to his string of brilliant psychological thrillers featuring two of Br itain's most well-rounded detectives. Supt. Andy Dalziel (aka the Fat Man) is the ultimate ham on wry. He takes no pains to hide his enormous appetite s, but it pleases him to hide his sharp mind behind crude behavior and riba ld speech. He pretends to misunderstand the erudite conversation of the var ious intellectuals who inhabit the story and delights in puncturing their p ompous pronouncements. When one expert adviser presents what he calls an "i nteresting" theory, Dalziel responds, "If you're waiting for a bus and a gi raffe walks down the street, that's interesting. But it doesn't get you any where." Refined, polite, rock-solid Inspector Peter Pascoe is the perfect f oil to his outlandish boss. Between them they've found truth in many a maze , but here both play background roles to rookie constable Bowler, inevitabl y nicknamed Hat. Hill's fans know his fondness for all sorts of wordplay, b ut he takes it to new level, for a word game is the crux of the mystery. Th e killer enters a short story competition with a piece, written in the form of a one-sided dialogue, that describes a murder and dares the police to u ntangle the clues planted therein. When they fail, another story submission arrives, describing a second murder. Five more people die before Pascoe's flash of insight illuminates the proper path. One final twist at the very e nd will take readers' breath away.

Hill, Reginald Good Morning, Midnight
Element Books Ltd 2005 0-00-712343-4 / 9780007123438 Paperback Very Good+
British writer and Dagger award-winning author Reginald Hill isn't just ver bose; he's prolific as well. That the 21st installment of his Dalziel-Pasco e series (after 2003's Death's Jest-Book) turns its attention to America an d international arms conspiracies strikes some critics as evidence that Hil l's mid-Yorkshire has been tapped out of story ideas. Worse yet, The Scotsm an believes Dalziel has devolved from a character to a caricature. On the w estern side of the Atlantic, the critics welcome Hill's intricate plots, la rge vocabulary and wit, and intelligent approach to the mystery genre. Hill "keeps the reader mesmerized," noted the Providence Journal.

Hill, Reginald The Collaborators
Countryman Pr May 1, 1989 0-88150-138-7 / 9780881501384 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Fine
A highly collectible first(American) edition/printing, tight clean copy pro tected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, thi s is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. First published in England in 1987, this novel departs from Hill's usual mystery oeuvre ( Ruling Passion ). With thoughtfulness and insight that call to mind le Carre, Hill reconsiders an aspect of the German occupation of France during WW II that many Frenchmen would prefer to forget--the collaboration. Set primarily in Paris, the novel follows the lives of Jean-Paul and Janine Simonian, he a Jew, she a boulanger 's daughter married against her parents' wishes. Upon his release from a military hospital after France's humiliating defeat in 1940, Jean-Paul joins the Resistance. For her part, Janine worries--about her two children and the husband who has become emotionally so dark and distant. Gunther Mai, an otherwise kindly German officer in the Abwehr , befriends Janine and uses her as a source of information on her husband's activities--a relationship that works well until he falls in love with her. What Hill portrays so successfully is the conflict between social and personal responsibility. Through a wonderful range of secondary characters, he skillfully characterizes the collaborator in his various guises--from the self-serving black marketeer to the loving mother and wife. Best of all, Hill captures the collapse of morality in occupied France.
