  The "master of . . . cerebral puzzle mysteries" sends his Yorkshire detectives back to college to be taught a lesson in murder (The New York Times). 
   
   
    
  Reginald Hill "raised the classical British mystery to new heights" when he introduced pugnacious Yorkshire Det. Inspector Andrew Dalziel and his partner, the callow Sgt. Peter Pascoe (The New York Times Book Review). Their chafing differences in education, manners, technique, and temperament made them "the most remarkable duo in the annals of crime fiction" (Toronto Star). The Gold Dagger Award–winning series was adapted into a long-running hit show for the BBC. 
   
   
    
  If Alison Girling, former principal of England's Holm Coultram College, died in an avalanche in Austria, why has her skeleton been unearthed on campus? While no love is lost between conservative detective Andrew Dalziel and the entirety of Liberal Arts, his attention to the grim discovery must be paid. But when he and Peter Pascoe scour the ivory tower for answers, they discover that the shady faculty and creepy student body have more to bury than just one corpse. Try two—and counting. As Pascoe is sidelined by an old college flame, Dalziel's suspicions of academia are becoming dire. Because the deeper he digs for secrets, the dirtier they get in this "steadily, edgily amusing . . . dark comedy" (Kirkus Reviews).

  An attendant at the local gas station mentions seeing a girl fitting Vanessa’s description getting into a pickup truck that he thinks belongs to one of the Spanglers.  
   
  Everyone knows the Spanglers—the richest, most influential family for miles around. 
   
  Patriarch Milton Spangler offers a $50,000 reward, determined to quash any notion that his family might be involved. But as search parties fail to yield any clues, another young woman goes missing. Are these simply disillusioned runaways? Or does the Spangler family have something to hide? 
   
  Myra Rutledge has honed her instincts over scores of missions, and the news stories about missing young women set her internal alarms ringing, especially when it involves her old friend, Milton Spangler. She shares her concerns with the other women of the Sisterhood, and they agree to look into the goings-on in Mountain Valley. But a small town like this can have deep secrets, especially when one family holds so much power.

  The Bed Sheet Serial Killer begins with FBI Agent Rick Clark and his forensic psychologist sidekick, Marty Robin, investigating a number of brutal serial murders committed within a three-year-period. All of the victims are women, and though they share few physical traits, their backgrounds are similar in one important way. One important way, that is, in the twisted brain of the serial killer. While Rick and Marty speculate on personal events that may have created this moral monster, the reader becomes, if not sympathetic to the perp, at least more understanding of the role the past plays in creating a cold-blooded killer on a mission to save lost souls.
