Product Description
‘One of Britain’s most consistently excellent crime novelists’ Marcel Berlins, The Times
A friendship renewed; a marriage going sour; Harry Bentick heads for the Lake District not knowing if he’s going in search of something or running away.
Then two girls are found murdered in the high fells, and suddenly there’s no doubt about it.
He’s running.
Set in his native Cumberland, this was Reginald Hill’s very first novel and its cleverly interwoven strands of detective story, psychological thriller and Buchanesque adventure prefigure much that in the intervening decades has taken him into the topmost ranks of British crime fiction.

Customer Reviews
Dark" is his first published work. It certainly indicated his future
standing as a master of the genre of mystery and suspense. This particular
story is a minor masterpiece for a first novel and the joys to come when
we came to know his characterisations,the delightful humour with which he
endowed them and his knowledge of the local areas he sets his tales in.
These qualties are evident in "Fell Of Dark", apart from the humour which
was inappropriate. However, "Fell Of Dark" stands on it's own two feet and
is quietly a 'gem' by the future eminent author.
He could well be classified as a male Ruth Rendell, or Minette Walters.
