The twenty-first novel in number one bestselling author Peter Robinson's critically acclaimed DCI Banks series.
MURDER ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN TEACH.
Ex-college lecturer Gavin Miller is found dead by a disused railway track near his home. There's no sign of a struggle, and no concrete evidence except for one distinguishing package: £5,000 stashed inside the man's pocket.
When DCI Banks delves into Miller's past, he uncovers a troubled existence tarnished by accusations of abuse and misconduct which throws up an array of puzzling questions.
One thing is clear: someone will stop at nothing to prevent Banks from discovering the truth...
A thrilling Alan Banks mystery from the master of the police procedural, Peter Robinson.
Robinson's gift for realistic characterisation is matched by an authentically realised sense of place; landscape is a crucial element in his work. The Alan Banks books have won many awards over the years including the Arthur Ellis award for best crime novel for
Past Reason Hated and the Anthony Award for
In a Dry Season; Children of the Revolution is a solid entry.
