No Cure For Love: a gripping standalone crime thriller from the master of the police procedural
Autor Peter Robinsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2016
Before you discovered DCI Banks, Dectective Arvo Hughes was on the case in this vintage standalone crime thriller from Peter Robinson.
As a detective in the LAPD Threat Management Unit, Arvo Hughes has dealt with every kind of stalker there is - and in 1990s Hollywood, he's not short of work.
Tasked with finding out who has been sending unsettling anonymous letters to beautiful TV star Sarah Broughton, Arvo expects this case to be nothing out of the ordinary - until the actress discovers a strangely mutilated body left in the sand outside her beach house.
Certain that Sarah's stalker must have met her before, Arvo realises his only chance to catch the killer before he gets closer to Sarah is to delve into her past. But nothing is straightforward in this case, and the squeaky-clean star seems to be keeping all memories of a shady history locked away . . .

Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation
[Peter Robinson deserves a place] near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league
Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wenching portraits of the characters who populate his world . . . top-notch police procedure
If Robinson is to turn out one-off novels as assured as this perhaps we wouldn't mind too much if Alan Banks was to retire and take up beekeeping in Sussex

“Terrific . . . that rare book that entertains, enthralls, and also teaches. [No Cure for Love] has something to say about right now.”—MICHAEL CONNELLY, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Sarah Broughton has come a long way. She’s the star of a hit cop show on TV. She lives in a beautiful California beach house. And—most important—she’s put her dark past behind her. . . as well as her old name, Sally Bolton. No need for anyone to know about that.
When Sarah begins receiving letters mysteriously signed with the letter “M,” she thinks they’re from a harmless admirer. . . until her real name appears in the third letter. And then she finds that name inscribed in the sand near her home—next to a body.
The message is clear: Someone is watching Sarah’s every move. Someone so obsessed with her that he won’t stop at just one murder in order to prove his love.
Panicked, Sarah turns to Detective Arvo Hughes of the LAPD, a man who specializes in hunting down the most dangerous stalkers. But nothing in Hughes’s experience has prepared him for the mastermind he’s up against. For the killer, there’s no cure for love. And for Sarah and Hughes, there’s no way out.
