It was 2.47am when Chief Inspector Alan Banks arrived at the barn and saw the body of Keith Rothwell for the first time. Only hours earlier two masked men had walked the mild-mannered accountant out of his farmhouse and clinically blasted him with a shotgun.

Clearly this is a professional hit – but Keith was hardly the sort of person to make deadly enemies. Or was he? For the police investigation soon raises more questions than answers. And who, exactly, is Robert Calvert?

The more Banks scratches the surface, the more he wonders what lies beneath the veneer of the apparently happy Rothwell family. And when his old sparring partner Detective Superintendent Richard Burgess arrives from Scotland Yard, the case takes yet another unexpected twist...

Thank you for sharing!

Putting it into the cosy crime bookbox

Oops, forgot to say I plucked this out of Flutterbies9’s Cosy Bookbox on Fri 30 Mar 2018 before I popped said Cosy Bookbox into the post returning it to Flutterbies9 in Somerset.

So Silver-Greece I’m intrigued that you added this to a Cosy Bookbox as this too-the-point review on the book cover gives colour in anticipation of the non-cosy nature of Robinson’s work…
‘The novels of Peter Robinson are chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art’ DENNIS LEHANE
While, this more cosy review also rightly highlights the intense drama in Robinson’s writing…
‘Peter Robinson’s cast of characters is vividly drawn. Well written … highly entertaining’ SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY
Still, I have to say thank you for adding this to that bookbox as it gave me the opportunity to haul it out for later reading. Yippee!
