Struggling with the death of his first serious girlfriend and the return of profiler Jenny Fuller into his life, Banks feels the need to dig deeper into the murders, and as he does so, he uncovers forensic and psychological puzzles that lead him to the past secrets that might just provide the answers he is looking for.

Recenzii
The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I'm wrong.
Top-notch police procedure
A mighty force to be reckoned with in crime fiction
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.
Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation
Long may Peter Robinson keep writing these books! I envy anyone who has not yet discovered this series
Robinson's interrogations, many of them conducted in pubs, have the rare quality of steadily illuminating and thickening both the speakers and their subjects. The result is a slow-burning intensity that deepens from beginning to end
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.
A canon that is on the way to rivalling Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot . . . Superbly textured, this dark story reveals that Banks is growing even more suspicious and melancholy as he grows older - which makes him even more captivating.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
At the doors of a charming country church, an unspeakable act destroys a wedding party. A huge manhunt ensues. The culprit is captured. The story is over.
Except it isn’t. For Alan Banks, still struggling with a tragic loss of his own, there’s something wrong about this case—something unresolved. Reteaming with profiler Jenny Fuller, the relentless detective dives deeper into the crime . . . deep enough to unearth long-buried secrets that reshape everything Banks thought he knew about the events outside that chapel.
And when at last the shocking truth becomes clear, it’s almost too late.
Packed with twists and turns, heart and soul, this is another triumph from an author “at the top of his game” (Louise Penny).
