The 28th twisting installment in the DCI Alan Banks mystery series that Stephen King calls “the best now on the market.”
In November 1980, Nick Hartley returns home from a university lecture to find his house crawling with police. His ex-girlfriend, Alice Poole, has been found murdered, and her new boyfriend Mark Woodley is missing. Nick is the prime suspect. The case quickly goes cold, but Nick cannot let it go. He embarks on a career in investigative journalism, determined to find Alice’s murderer—but his obsession leads him down a dangerous path.
Decades later, in November 2019, an archaeologist unearths a skeleton that turns out to be far more contemporary than the Roman remains she is seeking. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team are called in to investigate, but there is little to be gleaned from the remains themselves. Left with few clues, Banks and his team must rely on their wits to hunt down a killer.
As the two cases unfurl, the investigations twist and turn to an explosive conclusion.

Et lig fra 1980 og et lig fra 2019 viser sig at være forbundet. De 2 historier fortælles skiftevis, men hænger sammen.Hændelser fra 80’erne optræder direkte i handlingen eller i baggrunden, f.eks. The Yorkshire Ripper, mordet på John Lennon, Thatcher og minestrejken.DCI Alan Banks og hans hold optrevler handlingsforløbene på deres sædvanlige kompetente måde. Dog er Annie ikke med i arbejdet, da hun har orlov. Man kommer til at kende og holde af personerne og se frem til yderligere udvikling og ændring i deres liv og samarbejde. Men dette er sandsynligvis sidste bog i serien. Desværre. Jeg vil savne dem, men heldigvis kan jeg jo lytte til de 28 bøger igen.
