Peter Robinson | Friend of The Devil
Friend of the Devil by Peter Robinson is the seventeenth novel in the acclaimed Inspector Banks series. On a cold March morning, Karen Drew is discovered in her wheelchair at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea, her throat brutally cut. DI Annie Cabbot, temporarily working in another police division, is assigned the case. That same morning in Eastvale, nineteen-year-old student Hayley Daniels is found raped and strangled in the Maze, a tangle of narrow alleys behind the market square, leaving DCI Alan Banks with a very different murder to investigate.
At first, the two crimes appear entirely unrelated. But as Banks works through a growing list of suspects and Annie uncovers a startling lead in her seemingly impenetrable investigation, connections begin to emerge. Soon they are digging into a disturbing past while also confronting the unresolved tensions in their own relationship. Atmospheric, psychologically complex and intricately plotted, Friend of the Devil brings together two chilling investigations in a case where more than one killer may be waiting to strike again.
