Paperback: Banks is back and he's thrown straight in at the deep end.
Ex-college lecturer Gavin Miller is found dead; his distorted body strewn across 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 of cash, tucked inside the man's pocket.
But 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.
What really occurred at the college where the victim used to teach?
How was he embroiled in political activism at Essex University over forty years ago?
What links him to an upstanding pillar of the community who also harbours a dark secret from her past?
One thing is clear: someone will stop at nothing - even murder - to prevent Banks from discovering the truth.
Children of the Revolution (2013) is the superb tale of mystery and murder and the twenty-first book in the Inspector Banks series that takes acclaimed British Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks back to the early 1970s - a turbulent time of politics, change, and radical student activism.
The next book and the twenty-third book in the series - In the Dark Places - will be released on 11 August 2015.
About the author: Peter Robinson is the author of the bestselling DCI Banks crime novels, now a major television series starring Stephen Tompkinson. Check out his website to find out more.
