Pascoe's Ghost and Other Brief Chronicles of Crime

Now, seven outstanding stories provide an irresistible tour of Hill's inimitable world of detection as he shows us the contents of a padlocked attic trunk, the chilling truth in a prisoner's diary, and all the twists and turns in the back alleys of the criminal mind.
