Peter Robinson

Banks has recently been transferred from London to Eastvale, a town in the Yorkshire dales, and his desire to escape the stress of city life appears to be satisfied by Eastvale’s cobbled market square, its tree-shaded river and its picturesque castle ruins. But the village soon begins to show a more dangerous side...

“The climax, choreographed to a furious pace, should fill the land with the sound of pages turning.”

Toronto Star

The Hanging Valley

Peter Robinson

A faceless, maggot-ridden corpse is found in a tranquil, hidden valley above the village of Swainshead. As Banks begins his investigation, he is reminded of an unsolved murder from five years earlier in the same area. Is there a connection between the two? And why are the people of the village annoyingly silent on the subject?

“A superior writer.”

Denver Post

“A terrific book with a complex plot about murder and madness in the Yorkshire Dales.”
