Careless Love: A DCI Banks Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
His fans include Stephen King, Michael Connelly, Tess Gerritsen, Ian Rankin, and Louise Penney. He has won acclaim and numerous international prizes and awards, including the Edgar. Now celebrated New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinson, one of the greatest suspense writers of our time, demonstrates his mastery once again in this powerful mystery in which legendary detective superintendent Alan Banks is confronted with a pair of perplexing crimes.
Two suspicious deaths challenge DS Alan Banks and his crack investigative team.
The body of an attractive young woman dressed in evening attire is found in an abandoned car on a country road. The death looks like suicide, but there are too many open questions for Banks and his team to rule out foul play. The car didn't belong to her—it was badly damaged in an accident involving the vehicle's owner a week earlier in the same spot. So how did the dead girl get inside the car? Did someone place her there, and if so, why? Where—and when—did she die?
While Banks attends the postmortem, DI Annie Cabot is at the scene of another death. A well-dressed man in his sixties has been found in a gully high up on the wild moorland. His injuries were fatal and consistent with those sustained in a fall. Was it an accident—did the man get too close to the edge and slip? Was he pushed? The man was wearing an expensive suit. What was he doing in a rocky spot popular with hikers? There are no signs of a vehicle near where he fell. How did he get there?
Banks's and Cabot's cases share a few curious similarities. Both of the dead were found in the same area of the moorlands. Both were elegantly dressed. The timing of their deaths coincided. And neither carried identification. As the police uncover who these people were and begin to look into their lives, inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries surrounding the two cases proliferate. Then a source close to Annie reveals a piece of information that rocks the Eastvale detectives working both investigations. An old enemy has returned in a new guise—a nefarious foe who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants.
With the stakes raised, the hunt is on. But will Banks and his crack squad be able to find the evidence to stop him in time?

Inspector Alan Banks is puzzled when an apparent suicide is found in an abandoned car on a little-traveled road--the victim can't drive. Then a well-dressed man lacking any identification is discovered in a moorland gully, dead from what could be a slip or a push. From a best-selling author with Edgar, CWA Dagger in the Library, and Sweden's Martin Beck honors.

A corpse deposited in a crashed car clearly marked POLICE AWARE kicks off DCI Alan Banks' 25th case.Builder John Kelly drove his van away from the road accident at Belderfell Pass, but Trevor and Nancy Vernon had to leave their undriveable car behind. Imagine their surprise and outrage when a young woman's body turns up behind its wheel the following week. It's pretty clear to Banks and his Homicide and Serious Crimes Team (Sleeping in the Ground, 2017, etc.) that Eastvale College student Adrienne Munro choked to death in her own vomit elsewhere after an overdose of sleeping pills. But nothing else is clear. In fact, when DI Annie Cabbot is called to the spot on Tetchley Moor where semiretired banker Laurence Hadfield fell or was pushed to his death in a deep gulley, the bonds between the two deaths seem more baffling than illuminating. The plot thickens, but it doesn't begin to take logical shape until Banks' friend DCI Ken Blackstone, of the West Yorkshire Homicide and Major Inquiry Team, brings a third corpse to their attention: that of Sarah Chen, a University of Leeds student found beaten to death in an abandoned shack. The deaths of Adrienne Munro and Sarah Chen, both of whom lied about coming into substantial sums of money shortly before they died, seem clearly linked. But what connects either of these promising young women, their lives cut pitifully short, to the well-heeled banker whose own son acknowledges that he had hundreds, perhaps thousands, of enemies?The answers to these questions aren't exactly surprising, but they're eminently logical and all too depressing. And if the solution depends on good luck and good timing rather than mental prowess, that's business as usual for Robinson's all-too-human coppers.COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Two suspicious deaths in as many days, seemingly unrelated, have Leeds DCI Alan Banks and his team working to find out what happened to the deceased. The first victim, a university student dressed for an evening out, is discovered in a car that was involved in an accident investigated days before by the police. The second body, that of a London financier, is retrieved from the bottom of a ravine, dead from a broken neck, but clad in a business suit rather than hiking clothes. There is nothing that links the two deaths until Banks and his colleagues start asking questions and a third body, obviously murdered this time, turns up. VERDICT Robinson fans will enjoy the latest entry (after Sleeping in the Ground) in this long-running series. First-time readers will be motivated to seek out the previous titles. Well-written and believable, with recognizable but multifaceted characters and enough twists to keep the story riveting until the mystery is solved.
