Fell of Dark

by Reginald Hill

‘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, a unique blend of detective story, psychological thriller and Buchanesque adventure that was to lay the groundwork for many books to come, taking him into the top ranks of British crime fiction.

Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

Currently reading and so far loving it! 'Fell of Dark' is a classic tale of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and having to fight against the odds. This short novel is fast-paced and full of action but at the same time is character driven and thought-provoking. Reginald Hill's first novel is the perfect tale for all those who like their mystery full of suspense and adventure.
