UNCOVER THE VERY BEST IN CRIME AND THRILLER WRITING
Two missing boys.
A stolen bolt gun.
One fatal shot.
Three ingredients for murder.
When DCI Banks and his team are called to investigate the theft of a tractor from a North Yorkshire village, they’re far from enthusiastic about what seems to be a simple case of rural crime. Then a blood stain is found in an abandoned hangar, two main suspects vanish without a trace, and events take a darkly sinister turn.
As each lead does little to unravel the mystery, Banks feels like the case is coming to a dead end. Until a road accident reveals some alarming evidence, which throws the investigation to a frightening new level.
Someone is trying to cover their tracks – someone with very deadly intent . . .

[Peter Robinson deserves a place] near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league
It's neither the setting nor even the characters that makes Robinson's work so satisfying, but the plotting of Swiss-watch precision
Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation
As always with the excellent DCI Alan Banks novels, you can expect the story to grip you from beginning to end.
A real page-turner that confirms Robinson as a master of crime fiction.
