The twenty-second instalment of the bestselling DCI Banks series, called 'Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation' by The Observer.

Two missing boys; a stolen bolt gun; one fatal shot.
Three ingredients for murder.

Misled from the start, DCI Banks and his team are far from enthusiastic when they're called to investigate the theft of a tractor. But this is no trivial case of rural crime. A blood stain is found in an abandoned hangar, two main suspects vanish without a trace, and events take a darkly sinister turn.

As each lead does little to unravel the mystery, Banks feels like the case is coming to a dead end. Until a road accident reveals some alarming evidence, which throws the investigation to a frightening new level.

Someone is trying to cover their tracks - someone with very deadly intent . . .

The final novel in the DCI Banks series, STANDING IN THE SHADOWS, is available now.
Genre: Mystery
