Inspector Alan Banks' ninth case sees him investigating the murder of a young racist. A man who, it seems, has lived and died by the sword. But it is never that simple...
A night at the opera had offered Chief Inspector Alan Banks a temporary respite from his troubles-both at work and at home. But the telephone call summoning him to Eastvale brings him back to reality with a bump. For the body of teenager Jason Fox has been found in a dirty alleyway. He has been kicked to death. At first it looks like an after-hours pub fight gone wrong-until Banks learns that Jason was a member of a white power organisation known as the Albion League.
So who wanted him dead? The Pakistani youths he had insulted in the pub earlier that evening? The shady friends of his business partner Mark Wood? Or someone within the Albion League itself? Someone who resented the teenager's growing power in a brutal and unforgiving organisation...
Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire, and is the author of thirteen previous novels featuring Inspector Banks. He is the winner of numerous awards in the United States, Britain and Canada, and in 2002 he won the CWA Dagger in the Library award.
