Who Guards the Prince? - Reginald Hill - Hardcover - 1st American ed

Who would sever a tongue from a living mouth? Or kill a pathetic, homeless old man? Or frighten a young doctor into silence? The questions are piling up, and Doug McHarg can't stop asking them, even-especially-when he's warned off his inquiries by his boss in the local police force, by Scotland Yard, and by increasingly professional death-threats. The pattern that emerges is that of a shadowy, immensely powerful organization, with a reach that extends to the White House and the English throne. And all that stands against them is the implacable McHarg-one discontented copper with little left to lose. Best-known for his award-winning series featuring Dalziel and Pascoe of the Mid-Yorkshire CID, in Who Guards a Prince Reginald Hill takes on a different kind of cop and a very different bad guy. The Philadelphia Inquirer called the book a good old-fashioned thriller, but in truth, that doesn't begin to describe the ride.Hill, Reginald is the author of 'Who Guards the Prince? - Reginald Hill - Hardcover - 1st American ed' with ISBN 9780394520773 and ISBN 0394520777.
