Yorkshire policeman Peter Pascoe knows the identity of his tormentor..the ingenious, twisted, and possibly psychotic would-be academic who taunts him with strange letters that praise on the surface while hinting of dark crimes between the lines. Three times Pascoe has tried to convic Franny Rote but has failed for lack of evidence. The "Fat Man," Detective Superintendent Andy Falziel, believes Pascoe and his colleagues should concern themselves with the more tangible criminal activities currently under investigation, and not go chasing ghosts and shadows...despite the increasingly more disturbing likelihod that a recently and deservedly deceased maniac was not the killer they were seeking... 2004. 545 pages. PB in very good condition.
