A Necessary End

A policeman is stabbed to death at an anti-nuclear demonstration outside the Eastvale Community Centre in Yorkshire, launching a tense British police procedural for Chief Inspector Alan Banks.

In a politically motivated move, Detective Superintendent Richard “Dirty Dick” Burgess is pulled in from London to run the murder investigation. With a long list of suspects and an old enemy breathing down his neck, the odds are against Banks as he races to find the killer before Burgess does—and to save his career. The third book in the critically acclaimed Inspector Banks Mystery Series.
