Overheard in Mid-Yorks CID

[wellinghall]

"Reg? It's Pete Pascoe. How are you?"

"Good, good. Anyway, remember that counterfeiting ring we broke up a few years ago? Well, the word is that they've reformed, and are looking to move in on your territory."

"Yes, Wieldy got a hint from one of his snouts. And Wieldy says he's usually pretty reliable."

"Yes, I'll let you know if we hear anything else."

"Not at all. I owe you one - well, more than one! Take care now. Oh, and Ellie asked me to pass on her love to Dora."

"Okay, see you next time I'm in Kingsmarkham. Bye now."

But mid-Yorks? *puts on Dalek voice* Heresy. Heresy.

It's a Dalziel and Pascoe / Chief Inspector Wexford cross-over. Dalziel and Pascoe work in mid-Yorks.

Hoo - excellent! I'm impressed. I didn't realise you were an author as well. :-)

I look forward to reading more, if you feel like writing it - I do read gen, you know. ;-)

Thank you! :-)

There are two other drabbles out there with my name on - I think they both have a drabble or fanfic tag.

Not very widely known, I suspect. The speaker is Detective (Chief) Inspector Pete(r) Pascoe, of Mid-Yorkshire Constabulary, from the Dalziel and Pascoe books by the late Reginald Hill. The gentleman at the other end of the telephone is Detective Chief Inspector Reg(inald) Wexford, of Mid-Sussex Constabulary, from the Inspector Wexford books by Ruth Rendell.
