Summary
The thrilling twenty-fifth instalment in Peter Robinson's Number One bestselling Banks series, in which Banks and his team find themselves with two suspicious deaths.
A young local student has apparently committed suicide. Her body is found in an abandoned car on a lonely country road. She didn't own a car. Didn't even drive. How did she get there? Where did she die? Who moved her, and why?
Meanwhile a man in his sixties is found dead in a gully up on the wild moorland. He is wearing an expensive suit and carrying no identification. Post-mortem findings indicate he died from injuries sustained during the fall. But what was he doing up there? And why are there no signs of a car in the vicinity?
As the inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries proliferate, Annie's father's new partner, Zelda, comes up with a shocking piece of information that alerts Banks and Annie to the return of an old enemy in a new guise. This is someone who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants - and suddenly the stakes are raised and the hunt is on.

Another excellent Banks.
Another excellent story, Peter Robinson never disappoints. The reintroduction of an old adversary is perhaps the prelude to the next novel?

Good but a fair amount of waffle
Good Banks book,marred by a lot of unnecessary waffle. If I had read the book expect I would of jumped the waffle which added nothing to story but good direction /setting if read as tv script.Story itself well done, listened while walking at the gym ,

Excellent
One of Robinson’s best to date. Am guessing there is to a sequel as it left us guessing about one the plot lines.

My favourite so far.
I've read all of the DCI Banks stories and I think this is my favourite so far. Well crafted, good attention to detail and characters that I feel I know. A definite recommendation from me.

Too much bluster
I always enjoy the stories and the narration is good. Like other people I found the references to classical music and poetry a bit heavy and felt it use is just to fill out the story. By now we all know Banks likes his music and poetry but give it a rest otherwise people will get bored and not bother to read any more

Banks To The Fore
Not one of Peter Robinson’s best and quite slow paced but neatly resolved and it appears a sub plot setting up the next in the series but we shall have to wait and see.

Another good Banks novel...
A few reviews had called the plotting in this one obvious. I tend to agree but don't think it distracts from the story or that Robinson was intending it to be some form of locked door Christie-esque finale. The writing and characters carry you along. Two things to note - there seems to be a lot of police work carried out in the pub and the
Music and poetry snobbery. Okay Peter. We get it. You know a lot about both. But if you're going to drop in so much of it tell us a bit about it please!
