'Robinson is prolific, but with each book he manages to ring the changes.' Guardian
A young local student has apparently committed suicide. Her body is found in an abandoned car on a lonely country road. She didn't own a car. Didn't even drive. How did she get there? Where did she die? Who moved her, and why?
Meanwhile a man in his sixties is found dead in a gully up on the wild moorland. He is wearing an expensive suit and carrying no identification. Post-mortem findings indicate he died from injuries sustained during the fall. But what was he doing up there? And why are there no signs of a car in the vicinity?
As the inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries proliferate, Annie's father's new partner, Zelda, comes up with a shocking piece of information that alerts Banks and Annie to the return of an old enemy in a new guise.
This is someone who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants - and suddenly the stakes are raised and the hunt is on.

Praise for Careless Love
This is vintage Banks - a dogged search for truth which never once loses its grip on its hero's intuition and charm.
Robinson remains the master of the police procedural.
Robinson is prolific, but with each book he manages to ring the changes.
Banks' slow but dogged pursuit of murderers and his meditations on the past make him a figure readers feel they know intimately and trust implicitly and, despite moments of darkness, the series' warmth makes you feel all's right with the world.
A fast-paced and ingenious story
His novels track the changing nature of crime, taking on difficult subjects such as gangs of men who groom underage girls, and the new book tackles the contentious subject of widening inequality.
Robinson has a unique knack of revealing to the layman the painstaking and ingenious ways in which the numerous experts who work for the police can wheedle out the most infinitesimal clues surrounding a suspicious death
Praise for the DCI Banks series
The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I'm wrong.
Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of the British crime writers' league
Robinson also has a way of undercutting the genre's familiarity. With a deceptively unspectacular language, he sets about the process of unsettling the reader
Top-notch police procedure

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Two suspicious deaths challenge DS Alan Banks and his crack investigative team.
The body of a young woman dressed in evening attire is found in an abandoned car. It looks like suicide, but there are too many open questions for Banks to rule out foul play. The car didn’t belong to her, so how did she get inside? Where—and when—did she die?
Meanwhile, DI Annie Cabot is at the scene of another death. A well-dressed man has been found in a gully high up on the wild moorland. His injuries are consistent with those sustained in a fall. But what was he doing in a rocky spot popular with hikers? Was it an accident, or was he pushed?
As the police begin to uncover who these people were, the inconsistencies only multiply. Then a source close to Annie reveals a piece of information that rocks the Eastvale detectives. An old enemy has returned in a new guise, and he will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants.
