Hardback: Banks is back in the twenty-second instalment - Abbatoir Blues (2014) - of the brilliant, much-loved and top-notch DCI Banks novel series set in Yorkshire, England, and the hunt is on.
When the two boys vanish under mysterious circumstances, the local community is filled with unease. Then a bloodstain is discovered in a disused World War Two hangar and a caravan belonging to one of the youths is burned to the ground. Things quickly become much more sinister.
Assigned to the case, DCI Banks and his team are baffled by the mystery laid out before them. But then a motor accident during a freak hailstorm throws up a gruesome discovery and the investigation spins into a higher gear - in another direction.
