Peter Robinson | In a Dry Season
In a Dry Season by Peter Robinson is the tenth novel in the acclaimed Inspector Banks series, a haunting crime story in which the secrets of the past are literally brought back to the surface. During an exceptionally hot summer, drought drains the Thornfield Reservoir and reveals the ruins of Hobb's End, a Yorkshire village that has lain submerged for more than forty years. Exploring the abandoned settlement, a young boy makes a chilling discovery – a human skeleton hidden among the ruins.
DCI Alan Banks is given the daunting task of identifying a woman who died decades earlier and finding a killer whose trail has long since gone cold. Working with Annie Cabbot, Banks begins reconstructing the vanished community and uncovering secrets rooted in the years of the Second World War. Moving between a modern police investigation and a buried wartime mystery, In a Dry Season is an atmospheric and intricately constructed novel about memory, love, betrayal and the enduring consequences of crimes that time has failed to erase.
