Innocent Graves
Autor Peter Robinsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2027
A murdered girl. Dark Secrets. Deadlier lies.
One foggy night, Deborah Harrison is found lying in the churchyard behind St Mary's, Eastvale. She has been strangled with the strap of her own school satchel.
But Deborah was no typical sixteen-year-old. Her father was a powerful financier who moved in the highest echelons of industry, defence and classified information. And Deborah, it seemed, enjoyed keeping secrets of her own . . .
With his colleague Detective Constable Susan Gay, Inspector Alan Banks encounters many suspects, guilty of crimes large and small, in his search for the killer. And as he does so, plenty of sordid secrets and some lethal lies begin to emerge . . .
Innocent Graves is a pulse-pounding instalment in Peter Robinson's acclaimed Inspector Banks series - which became the major British ITV Drama DCI Banks. If you enjoyed it then don't miss the next in the series. Dead Right.

Review
A body is discovered in a graveyard—aboveground. It is the sort of horrific crime Chief Inspector Alan Banks fled the city to escape. But the murder of a bright teenager from a wealthy, respected family is not the end of the nightmare. Lies, dark secrets, and sinister clues swirl around this killing like leaves in an autumn wind, leading to a shattering travesty of justice that will divide a suspicious community. Yet Banks must remain vigilant in his hunt—because when the devil is left free to pursue his terrible calling, more blood will surely flow.
Electrifying and utterly addictive,Innocent Gravesis one of Peter Robinson’s most chilling tales of suspense.
“Inspector Banks is a man for all seasons.”—Michael Connelly
