Fell of Dark

One of Britains most consistently excellent crime novelists Marcel Berlins, The Times

A friendship renewed; a marriage going sour; Harry Bentick heads for the Lake District not knowing if hes going in search of something or running away.

Then two girls are found murdered in the high fells, and suddenly theres no doubt about it.

Hes running.

Set in his native Cumberland, this was Reginald Hills very first novel, a unique blend of detective story, psychological thriller and Buchanesque adventure that was to lay the groundwork for many books to come, taking him into the top ranks of British crime fiction.
