Banks
and Cabbot are back. Banks receives a desperate call from his brother
Roy, which launches into a search for the missing sibling. Banks
discovers that there isn't much of a trail. Banks and Roy are different
in character, but Banks isn't aware how much until he delves into
his brother's private life. The outcome affects him deeply. Cabbot
finds a note on the body of a woman, and he realizes that it's Banks
old address-the one that burned down. The envious ex-lover in her
wonders if the two are having an affair. Cabbot needs answers, but
Banks can't be found. Since his home burned down he's been elusive-
unapproachable to her, especially. It's murder, mystery and mobsters-British
style. The Banks series is one of the best British police procedurals
published. The characters are as complex as the cases. Read the
first one, and you'll hunt down the rest.
The
audio book is narrated by Simon Prebble, an experienced reader.
His tone is precise, his words perfect. If anyone can take you into
Banks world across the pond, he can.
