Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Internationally bestselling and Diamond Dagger Award-winningmystery writer Reginald Hill sets this mystery in the seaside resort ofSandytown, where Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel is recovering from abomb blast while solving a local murder in this “deeply satisfying whodunit” (Entertainment Weekly).Having narrowly survivedinjuries sustained when he was caught in a huge explosion, DetectiveSuperintendent Andy Dalziel is still on leave from the Yorkshire policedepartment, recuperating at the Avalon Clinic in the quaint seaside resort ofSandytown. But he soon begins to suspect that those outside the convalescenthome have just as many problems as the residents.There’s a psychiatrist withmore to hide than his patients, a pair of powerful landowners with verydifferent plans for putting the resort on the map, and a man from Dalziel’spast who ought to be dead.When someone actually does turnup dead, and under the most macabre circumstances, Chief Inspector Peter Pascoeis called onto the scene. Together again, Dalziel and Pascoe investigate abaffling and complex case as further corpses make it increasingly hard forSandytown to justify its claim to be “Home of the Healthy Holiday.” But it'scertainly been put on the map.From charred corpses to JaneAusten allusions, The Priceof Butcher’s Meat is a policeprocedural with something for everyone as it “offers an intellectuallysatisfying mystery, deep character studies and witty social commentary clothedin elegant, literate prose” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune).
