Reginald Hill

A stunning psychological thriller set in Cumbria past and present, from the award-winning author of the Dalziel and Pascoe series

The Stranger House

Things move slowly in the village of Illthwaite, but that changes when two strangers arrive in the village to dig up bits of the past locals would rather keep buried. The antipathy between Sam Flood and Miguel Madero is obvious but as they follow their separate quests their paths become increasingly entangled.

Sarah Escorsa

Very entertaining and well-written, part English history and part mystery with touches of gothic atmosphere... A very enjoyable read!

Sam Flood, a young Australian mathematician and Miguel Madero, a Spanish wannabe-priest-turned historian, are guests at the Stranger House inn in the village of Illthwaite. The antipathy between them is instant and mutual, but as they follow their separate quests their paths become increasingly entangled.
