Hardback: Michael Connelly calls Peter Robinson "an author with amazing empathy, a snare-trap ear for dialogue, and a clear eye for the telling detail."
Sleeping In The Ground (2017), features an opening scene you will never forget, and a finale you would not see coming.
At the doors of a charming Dales church, an unspeakable act destroys a wedding party. A huge manhunt ensues. The culprit is captured. The story is over.
Except it is not.
For Alan Banks, still struggling with a tragic loss of his own, there is something wrong about this case - something unresolved. Struggling with the death of his first serious girlfriend and the return of profiler Jenny Fuller, the relentless detective deeper into the crime, and as he does so, he uncovers forensic and psychological secrets that reshape everything Banks thought he knew about the events outside that chapel but that might just provide the answers he is looking for.
When the surprising truth becomes clear, it is almost too late.
Sleeping In The Ground, packed with twists and turns, is the latest and twenty-fourth instalment in the classic and top-notch Inspector Banks series set in the fictional Yorkshire town of Eastvale.
