     November 11, 2002
     In this 12th novel to feature Det. Chief Insp. Alan Banks, the brooding Yorkshire policeman is called back to England from holiday when someone discovers the remains of his old childhood friend Graham Marshall, who disappeared from their hometown in 1965. It's a journey back to Banks's own past and the provincial town of Peterborough, where he assists Michelle Hart, a local detective, on the case. He's also advising his colleague (and former lover) Annie Cabbot as she investigates the more recent disappearance of another teenager: Luke Armitage, the introverted, intellectual son of a British rock star who committed suicide when Luke was a baby. Like P.D. James, Robinson works on a large, intricately detailed canvas (sometimes too
     detailed—even the minor figures get at least a thumbnail sketch). The plot is richly complex, with lots of forensic science, a fair bit of English criminal history (the Kray brothers, legendary '60s-era London East End gangsters, make an appearance) and some internecine police department feuds. There's a fair amount of action and lots of suspense; someone doesn't want Hart or Banks to pursue the decades-old case, and Cabbot has her hands full with a plethora of unsavory suspects in the Armitage case. Along the way, Robinson probes more abstract ideas: the illusory nature of nostalgia; the dark, secret lives of small towns; middle age; and the oft-lamented challenges of going home again. This satisfying and subtle police procedural has a little bit of everything. Agent, Dominick Abel. (Feb.)Forecast:Robinson's long-running series is gathering readers and recognition. This latest addition will be helped by an 11-city tour.

   • content: This police procedural is one in a series about Yorkshire's Inspector Banks. Banks cuts short his vacation when the remains of a childhood chum, missing since the '60s, turn up in his hometown. Coincidentally, a sensitive, artistic teen goes missing nearby and also winds up dead. The melancholy Banks helps the lady copper investigating the former crime, and they begin an affair. He also helps a second female detective probing the latter crime, who is his former mistress. When the three aren't on the job, they do a lot of internal hand-wringing over their love lives. Narrator Ron Keith has that aristocratically British sound of a man with a stuffed-up nose. He reads accurately and really sinks his teeth into impersonating the characters. But his voices are cartoony, and his choices cheap and superficial. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
