When a man’s body is found by abandoned railroad tracks near his home, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks investigates the murder. The victim, Gavin Miller, was a former college lecturer dismissed for misconduct and has been living as a recluse since.
As with Peter Robinson’s previous books, this is a very detailed police procedural. Each detail and suspect is carefully examined, and the trails in this story lead far into the victim’s past.
I enjoy this type of carefully examined case and the complete explanation of the evidence. It does move slowly at times, but I have also found this in other of his books. Often when I read books by British authors, I find quite a few words unfamiliar to US readers, but fortunately this author spends his time in both the U.K. and North America so there were few times I needed to look up a word.
Another good book by Peter Robinson.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this new mystery with us. We read it too, and really enjoyed the cross between the 1970s storyline and the contemporary murder mystery.
