In A Dry Season: The Gripping 10th Novel in the Number One Bestselling Inspector Alan Banks Crime Series

‘The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I'm wrong’ – Stephen King

A lost village. Past crimes. Present evil.

During a blistering summer, drought has depleted Thornfield Reservoir, uncovering the remains of a small village called Hobb's End – hidden from view for over forty years. For a curious young boy this resurfaced hamlet is a magical playground . . . until he unearths a human skeleton.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks is given the impossible task of identifying the victim – a woman who lived in a place that no longer exists, whose former residents are scattered to the winds. Anyone else might throw in the towel but DCI Banks is determined to uncover the murky past buried beneath a flood of time . . .

Widely acclaimed as Robinson's best and most ambitious novel, In a Dry Season is a gripping, high-paced tale in which past truths and presents secrets collide. If you enjoyed it, then you'll love the next instalment in the Banks series - which became the major British ITV Drama DCI Banks – Cold is the Grave.
