IN
A DRY SEASON
The secrets of a
community are revealed as Inspector Banks solves a murder by looking
at war-time events.
The publisher, Avon
Books , 1 March, 1999
"IN A DRY SEASON is a wonderful novel. From Peter Robinson's deft hand
comes a multi-layered mystery woven around the carefully detailed
portraits of characters all held tightly in the grip of the past. At
its heart is Inspector Banks. A man for all seasons, he knows that
often the clues to the answers he seeks can be found hidden in his own
soul." --Michael Connelly, author of BLOOD WORK "Anyone who loves a
good mystery should curl up gratefully with a cuppa to enjoy this rich
10th instalment of the acclaimed British police procedural
series...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." --PUBLISHERS
WEEKLY --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title
