Mystery Police Procedural
Yorkshire's 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 Maciver's father. And even more
disturbing: Pascoe's boss, Detective Superintendent Dalziel,
was the officer on that case. With Dalziel checking his every move, Pascoe is forced to
lead his own investigation, plunging into the past to
uncover truths about the Maciver family, particularly Pal's
relationship with his step-mother, the beautiful and
enigmatic Kay Kafka. He soon realizes that the implications
of Maciver's death stretch far beyond the borders of
Yorkshire. And when a key witness -- exotic hooker Dolores,
"Lady of Pain" -- disappears, the death takes on a far more
complicated and mysterious face.
