Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks has recently moved to the Yorkshire Dales from London to escape the stress of the metropolis. But he soon finds that life in the country is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined...
A peeping Tom is frightening the women of Eastvale. Two glue-sniffing thugs are breaking into homes. An old woman may or may not have been murdered.

And Banks realizes that his cases are weaving closer and closer together...
Customer Reviews
Great Detective, Great Story, Great Author
This is the first DCI Banks story I have read. I hardly put it down and enjoyed the complex plot and contrasting characters. The interactions of various characters adds to the story and enriches the readers journey.
I have read the Rebus series of books and loved it and I think DCI Banks is Rebus, minus the booze but with a connected family. I will now work my way through DCI Banks just as I did with Rankin's Rebus Series.
Peter Robinson seems to tell a tale with clever twists and I recommend them to all detective story readers.
