MURDER ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN TEACH.
Ex-college lecturer Gavin Miller is found dead by 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 stashed inside the man's pocket.
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.
One thing is clear: someone will stop at nothing to prevent Banks from discovering the truth...
A thrilling Alan Banks mystery from the master of the police procedural, Peter Robinson.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Edgar-finalist Robinson's absorbing 21st novel featuring Det. Chief Insp. Alan Banks (after 2013's Watching the Dark), Gavin Miller lives in poverty-stricken isolation after allegations of sexual misconduct cost him his job as a college lecturer. Yet when his battered body is found near a disused Yorkshire railway track, he has 5,000 in his pocket. Believing the money came from drug sales or blackmail, Banks and his team investigate both the recent misconduct charges and Miller's college days decades earlier. Banks quickly uncovers a link between the victim and Lady Veronica Chalmers, once a Marxist rebel and now a successful romance novelist and aunt to the probable next home secretary. Robinson excels at connecting his detectives' personal stories to the investigation, endowing familiar characters with fresh nuance and depth. Impeccable pacing fleshes out Miller's tragic life and unravels the killer's motive.
