Multi-award-winning New York Times bestselling
author Peter Robinson returns with Children of the Revolution, a superb
tale of mystery and murder that takes acclaimed British Detective Chief
Inspector Alan Banks back to the early 1970s—a turbulent time of politics,
change, and radical student activism.
The body of a disgraced college lecturer is found on an
abandoned railway line. In the four years since his dismissal for sexual
misconduct, he’d been living like a hermit. So where did he get the £5,000 found in his pocket?
Leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Alan
Banks begins to suspect that the victim’s past may be connected to his death.
Forty years ago the dead man attended a university that was a hotbed of
militant protest and divisive, bitter politics. And as the seasoned detective
well knows, some grudges are never forgotten—or forgiven.
Just as he’s about to break the case open, his superior
warns him to back off. Yet Banks isn’t about to stop, even if it means risking
his career. He’s certain there’s more to the mystery than meets the eye and
more skeletons to uncover before the case can finally be closed.
