Line 55:
** Averted with Pascoe, who begins the series as DS, appears in one short story as a newly-minted Detective Constable, and is currently Detective Chief Inspector. The short story "One Small Step" suggests that he'll keep moving upward (but see [[Alternate Continuity]]).
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: Virtually every episode based on the novels. (Hill started his career as a lecturer in English literature, and it shows.)
* [[Locked Room Mystery]]: Played with in ''Good Morning, Midnight'', which features {{spoiler|a suicide made to look like a locked room murder}}. Dalziel [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s this when he accuses Pascoe of 'being at the John Dickson Carr.'
* [[Long Runners]]: The first novel, ''A Clubbable Woman'', appeared in 1970. The next one was slated for summer of 2013, but given Hill's [[Author Existence Failure|death]] in January of 2012, it's not clear yet if he left it in publishable state.
* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: The killer's technique in ''Deadheads.''
