Multiple award-winning, New York Times and #1
internationally bestselling author Peter Robinson returns
with Children of the Revolution, a superb tale of mystery
and murder that takes acclaimed British Detective Chief
Inspector Alan Banks back to the early 1970s—a turbulent
time of politics, change, and radical student activism.
The body of a disgraced college lecturer is found on an
abandoned railway line. In the four years since his
dismissal for sexual misconduct, he’d been living like a
hermit. So where did he get the 5,000 pounds found in his
pocket?
Leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Alan
Banks begins to suspect that the victim's past may be
connected to his death. Forty years ago the dead man
attended a university that was a hotbed of militant
protest
and divisive, bitter politics. And as the seasoned
detective
well knows, some grudges are never forgotten—or forgiven.
Just as he’s about to break the case open, his superior
warns him to back off. Yet Banks isn’t about to stop,
even
if it means risking his career. He's certain there’s more
to
the mystery than meets the eye . . . and more skeletons
to
uncover before the case can finally be closed.
