On Beulah Height
Reginald Hill
‘Hill is an instinctive and complete novelist who is blessed with a spontaneous storytelling gift’ Frances Fyfield, Mail on SundayFifteen years ago they moved everyone out of Dendale. They needed a new reservoir and an old community seemed a cheap price to pay. But four inhabitants of the valley could not be moved, for nobody knew where they were: three little girls who had gone missing, and the prime suspect in their disappearance, Benny Lightfoot.This was Andy Dalziel’s worst case and now he looks set to relive it. Another child goes missing in the next valley, and old fears arise as someone sprays the deadly message on Danby bridge: BENNY’S BACK!

Then I saw that there was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven.
JOHN BUNYAN: The Pilgrim’s Progress
O where is tinye Hew?
And where is little Lenne?
And where is bonny Lu?
And Menie of the Glenne?
And where’s the place of rest –
The ever changing hame?
Is it the gowan’s breast,
Or ’neath the bells of faem?
Ay, lu, lan, dil y’u
