Deadheads by Reginald Hill

Life was a bed of roses for Patrick Aldermann when Great Aunt Florence collapsed in her rosebed and he inherited Rosemont House with its splendid gardens. But when his boss, Dandy Dick Elgood, suggested to Peter Pascoe that Aldermann was a murderer, then retracted the accusation, the inspector was left with a thorny problem. Though by then a police cadet had dug up some very interesting information about Patrick's elegant wife.

'These novels last, like a grand malt whisky – rounded, rich, intoxicating… Here is an author at his formidable best'
Frances Fyfield, Mail on Sunday

'He is probably the best living male crime writer in the English-speaking world' Andrew Taylor, Independent
