Investigating the discovery of some very old bones that were found by a pharmaceutical research laboratory, inspectors Dalziel and Pascoe find some bizarre information about Pascoe's grandfather, a World War I Yorkshire soldier. 15,000 first printing. 15,000 ad/promo.
Inspector Peter Pascoe is busy eulogizing his recently deceased grandmother when Detective Superintendent Andrew Dalziel is called up to Wanwood House, the research headquarters of ALBA Pharmaceuticals, to investigate human remains unearthed by a pack of animal rights activists. The ANIMA members and their wire-cutter-brandishing leader have already been connected to several pharmaceutical lab raids, including one that left a security officer dead. No one, however, has been able to conclusively tie them to the crime. Irresistible impulse leads Dalziel to accept an invitation to the home of ANIMA's formidable chief, Cap Marvell, as celebrated for her heroic chest as she is for her rampaging zest. It's lunchtime when the Fat Man arrives, with time aplenty to endure a tofu entree and savor carnal desserts.
As Pascoe receives his grandmother's postmortem confessional, he's plunged into a mystery that hearkens back to World War I, to family skeletons in a closet he's driven to explore. That leaves phlegmatic Sergeant Wield to meet the challenge as a fresh corpse surfaces with all the earmarks of murder - and a prime suspect who strikes much too close to home for Mid-Yorkshire's two top policemen...
