Now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, British mysteries are more popular than ever. This collection brings together the most spine-tingling, page-turning stories by Britain?s greatest exponents of the genre. Every mystery-lover will relish Ian Rankin?s gripping Rebus mystery (Tell Me Who to Kill); Reginald Hill?s new Dalziel and Pascoe story (The Game of Dog); an exclusive new adventure for John Mortimer?s loveable Rumpole of the Bailey (Rumpole and the Scales of Justice); and a long-awaited, one-off return from Colin Dexter (The Double Crossing).
