Format:Paperback
The local Inspector Banks gets saddled with the tougher Superintendent Burgess from London when a peaceful demonstration in Eastvale ends with a dead policeman, stabbed to death. Riddled with prejudices, Burgess immediately points at a small community of "drop-outs", suspecting communist involvement in the killing. But is this the motivation for the killing? Well-written, nice characters and a believable plot, this book can be recommended for some quiet hours of reading.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having already read 'A Dedicated Man' i was naturally keen to see if this book lived up to the previous one. Although the novel was slightly different in that there was no obvious motive for the murder, it retained my interest by the complexities of the minor charactors and the continuous shifting of the plot.
I was slightly disapointed by the uncovering of the murderer at the end of the novel as the motive behind the murder seemed rather rushed and slightly simplistic, although a complee surprise.
All in all good read, Robinson engages the reader as always, if my expereience was anything to go by everyone is a suspect.

Format:Paperback
Rather like Inspector Wrexford stories, but set in Yorkshire. A good read rather than a cliffhanger. Inspector Rebus stories (author: Ian Rankin) are more interesting, darker and complex.
