Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A peaceful demonstration in the normally quiet town of Eastvale ended with fifty arrests — and the brutal stabbing death of a young constable. But Chief Inspector Alan Banks fears there is worse violence in the offing. For CID Superintendent Richard "Dirty Dick" Burgess has arrived from London to take charge of the investigation, fueled by professional outrage and volatile, long-simmering hatreds. Almost immediately, Burgess descends with vengeful fury upon the members of a sixties-style commune — while Banks sifts through the rich Yorkshire soil around him, turning over the earthy, unsettling secrets of seemingly placid local lives. Crossing "Dirty Dick" could cost the Chief Inspector his career. But the killing of a flawed Eastvale policeman is not the only murder that needs to be solved here. And if Banks doesn't unmask the true assassin, his superior's misguided obsession might well result in further bloodshed. Review:"In his third outing, Chief Inspector Alan Banks' quiet Yorkshire town of Eastvale is disrupted by a nuclear peace rally that turns violent. In the midst of a riot, a policeman is murdered, and the murder weapon is traced to a nearby commune. The investigation is placed in the hands of a less than scrupulous London superintendent whose cavalier attitude toward proper police procedure threatens to undermine Banks and his men. Fans of English police procedure will enjoy Banks' predicament, knowing all the while that his good sense and humanity will find the killer and scotch his rival." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review) Review:"An exceptional series."
