Eastvale, c'est là que vient d'être muté l'inspecteur Banks, qui a quitté sans regret Londres. Mais, sous ce décor de carte postale, se cache une réalite beaucoup plus sombre, plus dangereuse, incarnée par un voyeur qui espionne les femmes la nuit dans leur chambre...
L'inspecteur Banks refuse de croire, comme Joanna Passero de l'Inspection générale de la police, que l'inspecteur Bill Quinn, tué d'un flèche dans un centre de rééducation, était corrompu. Les recherches de Banks le conduisent sur la piste d'une jeune Anglaise disparue six ans plus tôt en Estonie.
A disgraced college lecturer is found murdered with £5,000 in his pocket on a disused railway line near his home. Since being dismissed from his job for sexual misconduct four years previously, he has been living a poverty-stricken, hermit-like existence in this isolated spot. There are many suspects, mostly at the college where he used to teach, but Inspector Banks soon becomes fixated on Lady Veronica Chalmers, who appears to have links with the victim going back to the '70s at the University of Essex, then a hotbed of political activism. When Banks suspects that Lady Chalmers is not telling him the whole truth, he pushes his inquiries a bit too far. Warned about this by his superiors, Banks must continue to conduct his investigation surreptitiously, under the radar.
Spellbinding plots, suspense that grips and won't let go, utterly unpredictable twists, psychological truths both sweet and scary, characters you'd like to meet (and some you'd hope never to encounter), all set in places that are characters themselves. A dozen tales of mystery from Robinson, including one brand new Inspector Banks story.
