Synopsis: |
A man drowns. Another dies in a motorbike crash. Two accidents - yet in a pair of so-called Dialogues sent to the Mid-Yorkshire Gazette, apparently as entries in a short story competition, someone seems to be claiming responsibility for the deaths. But when the story is leaked and a third indisputable murder takes place, Dalziel and Pascoe find themselves playing a game no one knows the rules of, against an opponent known only as the Wordman. |
