Dedicated Man Inspector Banks 2 B Spl [Paperback]

A historian is found dead in the Yorkshire Dales, and the village of Helmthorpe closes ranks. Inspector Alan Banks arrives to find a man everyone admired — a local scholar obsessed with restoring the old drystane walls — but someone wanted him gone. The deeper Banks digs, the more tangled it gets: buried affairs, old grudges, and secrets that don't stay buried in tight-knit communities. Peter Robinson writes moorland noir with real grit — this is crime fiction that lingers in the fog and the stone, where every witness has something to hide. Second in the Banks series, but works as a standalone. Perfect for fans of Reginald Hill or anyone who likes their mysteries atmospheric, methodical, and rooted in landscape.
