What to expect
A vicar nailed to a tree in Yorkshire.
The theft of a priceless artefact during a fire.
A detective forced to tell the truth for 24 hours.
A body hidden in a basement.
From the restless streets of London to the wilds of the Lake District, displaying all his trademark humour, playfulness and clever plotting, this landmark collection brings together the very best of Reginald Hill’s short stories for the first time, complete with a foreword from Val McDermid.

“Fast paced and packed with the Yorkshire duo’s trademark humour” Daily Mirror
‘As well as being a highly skilled crime novelist, the late Reginald Hill (1936-2012) was an accomplished short story writer. This collection… showcases both Hill’s virtuosity and his continual experimentation with the genre … All are explored in Hill’s trademark playful but sharply observed style as he conjures up multifaceted characters with economical ease … these stories will make a perfect Christmas present for mystery fiction aficionados’ Guardian
