Dry Bones That Dream

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...The novels of Peter Robinson are chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art. Dennis Lehane Peter Robinsons cast of characters is vividly drawn. Well written...highly entertaining. Scotland on Sunday >Dry Bones That DreamPeter RobinsonPan9780330482202
