Banks investigates the disappearance of Ray Cabott's partner, who was originally trafficked from Moldova, whilst Annie Cabott investigates the murder of a local organised crime boss and a rape on the premises. Interesting cast of characters and good exchanges in Annie's interviews. ( ) Peter Robinson died in 2022 so this book, which came out in 2021, was the last one he saw published. A final Inspector Banks was published posthumously but I was struck listening to this book how Banks seemed to have lost his zest for police work. Perhaps Robinson suspected his own time was drawing to a close; I'll have to read Standing in the Shadows to see if Banks' attitude changes. Meanwhile, I have many of the back list to read so I won't run out of Inspector Banks books for quite a while. An Eastvale property developer, Connor Blaydon, and his bodyguard/companion, Neville Roberts, were gruesomely murdered in Blaydon's luxury home. Annie Cabot is in charge of the investigation and she discovers SD cards of videos taken from cameras in and around the property. On one the rape of a young woman is captured. It is not clear who the rapist was but the face of the young woman can be discerned. Annie eventually identifies her as a part-time catering worker but by the time she discovers this the woman has already committed suicide. Meanwhile, Inspector Banks meets in London with an old mate who tells him that his friend and partner of Annie's father, Zelda, has been sticking her nose into places that the police would rather she not. Banks agrees to talk to Zelda. Zelda was an orphan raised in an institution in Moldova. On the day she left the institution she was kidnapped and made a sex slave by Armenian human traffickers. Zelda finally managed to extricate herself from that life in France and came to the UK where she met Annie's father. But we know from some chapters in Zelda's first person accounts that she has been pursuing those responsible. Could Zelda be responsible for the deaths of Blaydon and Roberts who did have some contact with the Armenians? It's a complex tale and one that involves Zelda and then Banks himself being kidnapped. They both manage to escape but their kidnappers die in a fiery blaze and Zelda might be responsible for their deaths. The title of this book comes from a Bob Dylan song. One of the things I love about Robinson's books are all the references to music in them. And it's not just rock that he listens to. Here's a sampling of the music in this book's playlist: Brahms Clarinet Quartet Dream Time by Abdullah Ibrahim Blue Monk by Thelonius Monk Tous les garcons et les filles by Francoise Hardy Be sure to listen to at least some of these during or after reading this book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: "Robinson is an author with amazing empathy, a snare-trap ear for dialogue, and a clear eye for the telling detail."â??Michael Connelly One of the world's greatest suspense writers returns with the 27th novel featuring the legendary detective Alan Banks in the mystery series Stephen King calls "the best now on the market." When property developer Connor Clive Blaydon is found dead, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks and his Yorkshire team dive into the investigation. As luck would have it, someone had installed a cache of spy-cams all around his luxurious home. The team hope that they'll find answersâ??and the culpritâ??among the video recordings. Instead of discovering Connor's murderer, however, the grainy and blurred footage reveals another crime: a brutal rape. If they can discover the woman's identity, it could lead to more than justice for the victim; it could change everything the police think they know about Connor and why anyone would want him dead. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Banks and his friend, Zelda. A super recognizerâ??able to recognize faces significantly better than most peopleâ??Zelda is determined to bring the men who abused her to justice. But stirring up the murky waters of the past will put her in far greater danger than ever before, and Banks worries that he won't be able to stop her from plunging too deep before it's No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
