"The crime-busting duo are back to solve more murder mysteries. This series is as action-packed as ever, although two investigations affect the pair a bit too personally. Pascoe's wife, Ellie, puts her life and her marriage at risk when she gets perilously involved in a murder inquiry and Dalziel becomes involved in a psychological game with a dangerous killer, who invents almost deliberately implausible alibis when his nearest and dearest begin dying around him. Can Dalziel succeed in proving the man's guilt?"--Container.
