Crime Writing at its Best - By: J. Chippindale, 03 Jun 2007 
Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire, & is the author of a number of previous novels featuring Chief Inspector Banks. He is the winner of numerous awards in the United States, Britain & Canada, & in 2002 he won the CWA Dagger in the Library. As I also come from Leeds the background to his stories is something that I have experienced first hand & because of this I have a special affection for his books. However they would be first class crime fiction wherever they were based.
Detective Chief Inspector Banks is at a low point in his life. His wife has finallly left him to live with another man in London & his career is going nowhere thanks to a high ranking officer becoming more & more frustrated with Banks's methods of solving crime.
Maybe a move to the National Crime Squad would kick start his career? Maybe even another chance with Sandra? Then late one night he is summoned to the house of Chief Constable Riddle, which is strange in itself as the Chief Constable is the senior officer who has been blighting Banks's career.
The Chief Constable's 16-yearr-old daughter Emily has run away & for once he is happy to alllow Banks to use his unorthodox methods to find the girl & bring her back without any fuss.
