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.

The Times

‘A real treat. The characters are deftly drawn, the plot constantly delivers, surprises and the assured narrative demonstrates again what a terrific writer he is'

Observer

'Reginald Hill's novels are really dances to the music of time, his heroes and villains interconnecting, their stories intertwining'

Ian Rankin

'The finest male English contemporary crime writer'

Best short stories ever

These anthologies are often suffer with 1 good story and a pile of disappointment. This is the exception- every story is brilliant, a perfect little world not lacking in anything. I recommend this as very worthy of a credit and a few Christmassy hours.
