Publisher Description
Published in the United Kingdom and Canada as Abattoir Blues
Louise Penny calls In the Dark Places "brilliant." Tess Gerritsen says it's "thrilling." And Michael Connelly describes Peter Robinson as "amazing." One of the world's greatest suspense writers returns with this sensational new novel featuring Inspector Alan Banks, hailed by Michael Connelly as "a man for all seasons."
It's a double mystery: Two young men have vanished, and the investigation leads to two troubling clues in two different locations.
As Banks and his team scramble for answers, the inquiry takes an even darker turn when a truck careens off an icy road in a freak hailstorm. In the wreckage, rescuers find the driver, who was killed on impact, as well as another body—a body that was dead well before the crash.
Snow falls. The body count rises. And Banks, perceptive and curious as ever, feels himself being drawn deeper into a web of crime, and at its center something—or someone—dark and dangerous lying in wait.
Vibrating with tension, ingeniously plotted, and filled with soul and poignancy, In the Dark Places is a remarkable achievement from this masterful talent.

— Independent (London) -
“Deftly plotted…Banks continues to charm.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“The focus here is less on Banks and more on the no-nonsense DS Winsome Jackman, her background, and the possibility of a romance…Absorbing.”
— Library Journal -
“Steadily builds to some very frightening revelations and a hold-your-breath climax. As usual, the relationships between Banks and his crew and the fascinating way that procedure and forensics are used make for a solid read. Robinson belongs on any P. D. James’ fan’s must-read list.”
— Booklist -
“A case no one in Eastvale HQ wants to work—a gentleman farmer’s stolen tractor—leads to all the homicidal twists and turns beloved of Robinson’s many fans…If malfeasance in Yorkshire is what you crave, you won’t hesitate, and you won’t go wrong.”
— Kirkus Reviews
