Publisher’s Summary
When the body of a young girl is found in a remote countryside lane, evidence suggests she was drugged, abused and thrown from a moving van – before being beaten to death. While DI Annie Cabbot investigates the circumstances in which a 14-year-old could possibly fall victim to such a crime, newly promoted Detective Superintendent Alan Banks must do the same – but the crime Banks is investigating is the coldest of cases. Fifty years ago Linda Palmer was attacked by celebrity entertainer Danny Caxton, yet no investigation ever took place. Now Caxton stands accused at the centre of a historical abuse investigation and it’s Banks’s first task as superintendent to find out the truth.As more women step forward with accounts of Caxton’s manipulation, Banks must piece together decades-old evidence. With his investigation uncovering things from the past that would rather stay hidden, he will be led down a path even darker than the one he set out to investigate . . .

I’ve read every DCI Banks story and looked forward to this latest one. A little disappointed with it if I’m honest. I expected more plot twists, but it seemed as though I knew all along what was going to happen. As ever I love the setting, I’m a Yorkshire girl. And I the only one who still wants Banks and Annie to get together?

This was a great challenging almost uncomfortable story and would have felt really current if not for the shocking narration… this chap portrayed every character as they were in a pre 1950’s serial. The women were wholly patronised despite being very strong characters as you could imagine them wearing bonnets – that’s a metaphor for something I think, the West Indian accent was insulting and men were completely unreal! I nearly stopped listening out of principal several times but I really did want to know who done it!
