Book description

No one could believe that a man like Keith Rothwell would be murdered. Except Keith Rothwell was leading a double life - as Inspector Alan Banks is about to find out . . . It was 2. 47 a. m. 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 Clavert? 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 take yet another unexpected twist . . . Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire, and now lives in Canada. He has written fifteen Inspector Banks novels, the most recent of which is Strange Affair . The critically acclaimed, bestselling series has won numerous awards in Britain, the United States, Canada and Europe.
