With his wife now living with another man in London and his career in the doldrums thanks to Chief Constable Riddle, it is time to ring the changes. Perhaps a move to the National Crime Squad? Perhaps a second chance with Sandra? But then late one night he is summoned to Riddle's house - and his plans take a surprising new turn.

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.
