Stephen Booth — SIGNED Limited Edition, #34 of 80 — Scorpion Press, 2002
Stephen Booth's Ben Cooper and Diane Fry series is among the most respected in contemporary British crime fiction, praised for its evocative Peak District setting and psychologically layered characters. In Blood on the Tongue, three bodies and a bitter winter push Fry into an uneasy partnership while Cooper follows a WWII-era mystery of his own — a novel that was a finalist for the 2003 Dorothy Parker Award.
