international prizes and awards, including the Edgar. Now celebrated New York Times bestselling author Peter
Robinson, one of the greatest suspense writers of our time, demonstrates his
mastery once again in this powerful mystery in which legendary detective
superintendent Alan Banks is confronted with a pair of perplexing crimes.
Two suspicious deaths challenge DS Alan Banks and his crack
investigative team.
The body of an attractive young woman dressed in evening
attire is found in an abandoned car on a country road. The death looks like
suicide, but there are too many open questions for Banks and his team to rule
out foul play. The car didn’t belong to her—it was badly damaged in an accident
involving the vehicle’s owner a week earlier in the same spot. So how did the
dead girl get inside the car? Did someone place her there, and if so, why?
Where—and when—did she die?
While Banks attends the postmortem, DI Annie Cabot is at the
scene of another death. A well-dressed man in his sixties has been found in a
gully high up on the wild moorland. His injuries were fatal and consistent with
those sustained in a fall. Was it an accident—did the man get too close to the
edge and slip? Was he pushed? The man was wearing an expensive suit. What was
he doing in a rocky spot popular with hikers? There are no signs of a vehicle
near where he fell. How did he get there?
Banks’s and Cabot’s cases share a few curious similarities. Both
of the dead were found in the same area of the moorlands. Both were elegantly
dressed. The timing of their deaths coincided. And neither carried
identification. As the police uncover who these people were and begin to look into
their lives, inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries surrounding the two
cases proliferate. Then a source close to Annie reveals a piece of information
that rocks the Eastvale detectives working both investigations. An old enemy
has returned in a new guise—a nefarious foe who will stop at nothing, not even
murder, to get what he wants.
With the stakes raised, the hunt is on. But will Banks and
his crack squad be able to find the evidence to stop him in time?
