While allowing the all-consuming job of detective to disrupt even Inspector Pascoe's yin-ming faculties. Ghost captures Inspector Claire Pascoe perilously, posing a case not just for investigative precision, but survival. While Dale Mysteries' ghost, helps make plain the motivations of a grieving, compromised Dai-sleighman. On top of that, OneSmall Step takes you on a wondrous trek with two ultimate professionals on one of their first moon-shots.Read on, explore, and discover all these exciting, character-laden tales only you have with this exquisite volume.

Описание книги от Reginald Hill
‘Hill is an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift’ Frances Fyfield, Mail on SundayIf you’ve already met Dalziel and Pascoe, you’re in for a treat. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, you’re in for a revelation! Here in four stories we track their partnership from curtain-up to last act; from the mean streets of Mid-Yorkshire to the mountains of the moon.The Last National Service Man reveals the truth, hitherto buried in police files, of their momentous first encounter, while Pascoe’s Ghost is a chilling tale taking us deep into Poe country. Dalziel’s Ghost, meanwhile, finds the man who normally wouldn’t be seen dead in a graveyard expressing a surprising interest in the ‘other side’. And finally, One Small Step takes a giant leap forward to the first murder on the moon.
