Description
A man drowns. Another dies in a motorbike crash. Two accidents seem unrelated, yet someone is taking responsibility for these deaths by submitting them as entries in a short story competition. In the Mid-Yorkshire CID, these claims are met with skepticism. However, when the story is leaked to television and a third murder takes place, detectives find themselves playing a game they don't understand against an opponent known only as the Wordman. In this gripping novel, Reginald Hill weaves a complex web of mystery and suspense. A pair of seemingly unrelated deaths sets off a chain of events that challenges the skills of two seasoned detectives. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems, and the truth behind the murders may be more sinister than initially thought. With its intricate plot and unexpected twists, Dialogues of the Dead is a gripping read for fans of police procedural fiction.
