Exit Lines (Dalziel and Pascoe Series #8) »

Three old men shuffle off their mortal coil on the same chilly night. There seems at first to be nothing to connect their deaths to each other, much less to the sulferous whiffs of police corruption that are riding on the Yorkshire breeze. But trust Andy Dalziel's thick fingers to trace the links between all three of the elderly gents, the dirty cops, and a pheasant shoot.

Publishers Weekly

Three old men die violently in separate incidents one stormy November night. Because one of them is run over by Andy Dalziel, he comes under suspicion, and it is up to his partner, Peter Pascoe, and Sergeant Wield to investigate and clear his name. PW called this mystery ``topnotch,'' with ``beautifully drawn characters who excel at clever sleuthing.'' (May)
