As she delves deeper, she uncovers more motives and suspects, including the college president. With the help of a new friend and suspicions of an FBI agent, Lainey sets out to solve the case and prove her theory.

As tensions rise and her best friend is abducted, Lainey vows to bring the killer to justice, even if it means putting her own life at risk.

Exit Lines

Reginald Hill

Linking the dying words of three slain strangers proves risky for Dalziel and Pascoe in this "shrewd . . . and deft" mystery (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. 
 
 
  
On the same night, three old men are offed: One is found in the icy rain sputtering the name "Polly" before expiring; another mumbles "Charley" after being beaten in his bathtub; and most alarmingly, the final words of the third, a cyclist knocked off the road by a drunk driver, implicate Superintendent Andrew Dalziel in the fatal hit and run. Bearing the brunt of three seemingly disparate investigations while proving his partner's innocence, Peter Pascoe follows a confounding trail that leads to one victim's family secrets, a shady retirement community, and corruption within the CID's ranks that's putting more than Dalziel's already dicey reputation in peril.
