In a Dry Season

Peter Robinson

In the blistering, dry summer, the waters of Thornfield Reservoir have been depleted, revealing the ruins of a small Yorkshire village that lay at its bottom, bringing with it the unidentified bones of a brutally murdered young woman. Banks faces a daunting challenge: he must unmask a killer who has escaped detection for half a century.

“A wonderful novel.”

Michael Connelly

“Once again, Robinson's work stands out for its psychological and moral complexity, its startling evocation of pastoral England and its gritty, compassionate portrayal of modern sleuthing.”
