In A Dry Season

The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I'm wrong’ – Stephen King

In A Dry Season is the tenth novel in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, following on from Dead Right.

A lost village. Past crimes. Present evil.

During a blistering summer, drought has depleted Thornfield Reservoir, uncovering the remains of a small village called Hobb's End – hidden from view for over forty years. For a curious young boy this resurfaced hamlet is a magical playground . . . until he unearths a human skeleton.
