Fell of Dark - Hardcover
‘One of Britain’s 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 he’s going in search of something or running away.
Then two girls are found murdered in the high fells, and suddenly there’s no doubt about it.
He’s running.
Set in his native Cumberland, this was Reginald Hill’s 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.

Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘One of Britain’s most consistently excellent crime novelists’
The Times
‘Reginald Hill stands head and shoulders above any other writer of homebred crime fiction’
Observer
‘So far out in front that he need not bother looking over his shoulder’
Sunday Telegraph
‘Hill’s wit is the constant, ironic foil to his vision’
Mail On Sunday
A friendship renewed; a marriage going sour; Harry Bentick heads for the Lake District not knowing if he’s going in search of something or running away.
Then two girls are found murdered in the high fells, and suddenly there’s no doubt about it.
He’s running.
Set in his native Cumberland, this was Reginald Hill’s very first novel and its cleverly interwoven strands of detective story, psychological thriller and Buchanesque adventure prefigure much that in the intervening decades has taken him into the topmost ranks of British crime fiction.
' Fell of Dark' is a simultaneous hardback/paperback publication from the acclaimed Reginald Hill (‘One of our most consistently excellent crime novelists’ – ' The Times'), winner of the CWA’s Gold and Diamond Dagger awards.
