Book description
Through years of success in Hollywood composing music for Oscar-winning
films, Chris Lowndes always imagined he would come full circle, home to
Yorkshire with his beloved wife Laura. Now he's back in the Yorkshire
Dales, but Laura is dead, and Chris needs to make a new life for
himself. The isolated house he buys sight unseen should give him the
space to come to terms with his grief and the quiet to allow him to
work. Kilnsgate House turns out to be rather more than he expected,
however. A man died there, sixty years ago. His wife was convicted of
murder. And something is pulling Chris deeper and deeper into the story
of Grace Elizabeth Fox, who was hanged by the neck until she was dead .
. . Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire, and now divides his time
between Richmond and Canada. There are nineteen books in the bestselling
Inspector Banks series - the critically acclaimed crime novels have won
numerous awards in Britain, the United States, Canada and Europe, and
are published in translation all over the world. Peter Robinson's DCI
Banks is now a major new ITV1 drama by Left Bank productions. Stephen
Tompkinson (Wild at Heart, Ballykissangel) plays Inspector Banks, and
Andrea Lowe (The Bill, Murphy's Law) plays DI Annie Cabbot. FRIEND OF
THE DEVIL has been adapted for ITV and will be aired in August or
September 2011. FRIEND OF THE DEVIL was shortlisted for the Theakstons
Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award for 2008.
