Patrick Alderman was a quiet man, a contained man. He loved his wife, he loved his children. He did his job adequately if not well. Only one thing, apparently, raised passion in Patrick: roses. Roses and the home he adored, Rosemont. So when Patrick’s boss, Dandy Dick Elgood told Inspector Peter Pascoe that Patrick had tried to murder him, had, in fact, murdered two other men, Pascoe approached the investigation with a huge amount of scepticism ...
Diamond Dagger winner Reginald Hill weaves a tangled tale of suspicion, coincidence and murder beyond morality as Pascoe and his boss, Andy Dalziel, the police superintendent who has brought a whole new dimension to the word ‘bluff’, investigate.
