British crime writer, Reginald Hill, who is probably best known for his Daziel and Pascoe novels, has died from a brain tumour at the age of 75.
Hill, who grew up in Durham, Northern England, studied at Oxford University and was a teacher and lecturer for many years. Author of over fifty books, he won the Crime Writers' Association Cartier Diamond Dagger for Lifetime Achievement in 1995.
The Daziel and Pascoe novels -- which began with "The Clubbable Woman" in 1970, formed the basis of the popular BBC series of the same name. At his death he left one novel due for publication in 2013.
