About Standing in the Shadows by Peter Robinson
Peter Robinson’s 28th DCI Alan Banks mystery connects two investigations separated by decades. In November 1980, university student Nick Hartley returns home to find his ex-girlfriend, Alice Poole, murdered and her new boyfriend missing. Nick becomes the prime suspect, but when the case goes cold, he turns to investigative journalism to pursue the truth.
In November 2019, an archaeologist discovers a skeleton that is much more recent than the Roman remains she was searching for. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team take on the case, with few clues to guide them. The novel interweaves the investigations as the detectives work to uncover what happened.
This police procedural suits readers looking for a layered crime mystery, an Alan Banks novel, or a story that brings a decades-old case into a present-day investigation.
