Peter Robinson | The Summer That Never Was
The Summer That Never Was by Peter Robinson is the thirteenth novel in the acclaimed Inspector Banks series. While holidaying in Greece, Alan Banks reads about human remains uncovered at a building site in Cambridgeshire. The discovery becomes painfully personal when the victim is identified as Graham Marshall, Banks's childhood friend, who disappeared during his newspaper round in 1965 at the age of fourteen. The news forces Banks to confront memories of that long-ago summer and the guilt he has carried for more than thirty years.
As Banks looks into Graham's death, another boy disappears in Yorkshire, bringing past and present disturbingly close together. His search for answers uncovers old secrets and increasingly blurred boundaries between victim and perpetrator, innocence and guilt. Combining a compelling police investigation with an unusually personal exploration of its central character, The Summer That Never Was is an atmospheric mystery about memory, loss and the consequences of truths buried for decades.
