“One of the world’s finest police procedural writers… [Standing in the Shadows] As with Robinson’s best work, the narrative is rich and surprising. Knowing this is his last book makes reading it bittersweet. ”—The New York Times Book Review
This is the 28th twisty work in DCI’s Alan Banks suspense series, which Stephen King called “the best work currently on the market.”
In November 1980, Nick Hartley returned home from a university lecture to find his house swarmed with police. His ex-girlfriend Alice Poole was found murdered and her new boyfriend Mark Woodcroft disappeared. Nick is the prime suspect. The case quickly went cold, but Nick couldn’t let it go. He begins a career in investigative journalism, determined to find Alice’s killer, but his obsession leads him down a dangerous path.
Decades later, in November 2019, an archaeologist unearthed a skeleton that turned out to be much more modern than the Roman remains she was looking for. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team were called in to investigate, but little information was gleaned from the remains themselves. With few clues, Banks and his team must rely on their wits to track down the killer.
As both cases unfold, the investigation twists and turns and reaches explosive conclusions.
