Piece of My Heart by Peter Robinson
LET SLEEPING BODIES LIE It was the summer of 1969. The body of a young woman wrapped in a sleeping bag was discovered during the clean up after an outdoor rock concert. Four decades on, Chief Inspector Alan Banks is called to a far bloodier scene. Someone has been murdered in a remote village: but before Banks can begin to uncover the motive he must first identify the body. Nothing is straightforward in this case, and soon Banks is on a path of discovery that leads to the past - and to a murder in the summer of '69 that everyone thought was long-since solved... A thrilling Alan Banks mystery from the master of the police procedural, Peter Robinson.
The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are, simply put, the best series on the market * Stephen King *
A terrific contemporary crime novel * Independent on Sunday *
Further enhances Alan Banks' reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops * The Times *
Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation * Observer *
Banks is one of the most fully drawn figures in this genre of fiction * New York Times *
Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin. . he deserves [a place], near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league . . . PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly interweaves past and present, providing two strands of tension for the price of one, and further enhancing Alan Banks's reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops. * The Times *
PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly evokes the time of British psychedelia (which I remember as standing in a muddy field sucking on a weak joint), as well as being a terrific contemporary crime novel. * Independent on Sunday *
This book must be the bargain of the year, for it is two riveting, equally interesting crime novels in one. What takes it into the premier league, however, is Robinson's utterly convincing and moving portrayal of Chadwick and Banks' * Telegraph *
Robinson has to use all his ingenuity to find the solution to both killings. This book benefits hugely from Robinson's sympathetic leading man and the richly recorded Dales settings. * Scotsman *
