Standing in the Shadows

DCI Banks, Book 28

De: Peter Robinson

Narrado por: Simon Slater

The twenty-eighth book in the number one bestselling Alan Banks crime series—by the master of the police procedural.

Late November, 1980. Student Nick Hartley returns from a lecture to find his house full of police officers. As he discovers that his ex-girlfriend has been found murdered in a nearby park, and her new boyfriend is missing, he realises two things in quick succession: he is undoubtedly a suspect as he has no convincing alibi, and he has own suspicions as to what might have happened...

Late November 2019. A dig near Scotch Corner unearths a skeleton that turns out to be far more recent than the Roman remains the archaeologist is looking for. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team are called in and, as an investigation into the find begins, the past and the present meet with devastating consequences.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The master of the police procedural." (Mail on Sunday)

"The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I'm wrong." (Stephen King)

Mmmmmm

I was so looking forward to this book but I have to say it disappointed me. It wasn’t as captivating as all his other “Banks “ books. When it finished I felt a bit ho hum.
