MURDER ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN TEACH.
Ex-college lecturer Gavin Miller is found dead by a disused railway track near his home. There's no sign of a struggle, and no concrete evidence except for one distinguishing package: £5,000 stashed inside the man's pocket.
When DCI Banks delves into Miller's past, he uncovers a troubled existence tarnished by accusations of abuse and misconduct which throws up an array of puzzling questions.
One thing is clear: someone will stop at nothing to prevent Banks from discovering the truth...
A thrilling Alan Banks mystery from the master of the police procedural, Peter Robinson.
Peter Robinson's DCI Banks became a major ITV1 drama starring Stephen Tompkinson (Wild at Heart, Ballykissangel) as Inspector Banks, and Andrea Lowe (The Bill, Murphy's Law) as DI Annie Cabbot.
Peter's standalone novel BEFORE THE POISON won the IMBA's 2013 Dilys Award as well as the 2012 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel by the Crime Writers of Canada. This was Peter's sixth Arthur Ellis award. His critically acclaimed DCI Banks novels have won numerous awards in Britain, the United States, Canada and Europe, and are published in translation all over the world. In 2020 Peter was made a Grand Master by the Crime Writers of Canada. Peter grew up in Yorkshire, and divided his time between Richmond, UK, and Canada until his death in 2022.
