Synopsis

The worst that can possibly happen...has.

A beautiful child is dead—defiled and murdered in a lonely graveyard on a fog-shrouded evening. It is the sort of horrific crime Chief Inspector Alan Banks fled the city to escape. But the slaying of a bright and lovely teenager from a wealthy, respected family is not the end of a nightmare. Lies, dark secrets, unholy accusations, and hints of sexual depravity swirl around this abomination like leaves in an autumn wind, leading to a shattering travesty of justice that will brutally divide a devastated community with suspicion and hatred. But Banks must remain vigilant in his hunt—because when the devil is left free to pursue his terrible calling, more blood will surely flow.

Innocent Graves: Banks at the Bar Full review to follow. In short, this is Banks' best outing in the series I have encountered. Peter Robinson departs from his usual plot line.

Like going home to an old friend! Instalment #8 is as good as the previous DCI Banks crime novels. This one is slightly different with much of the case centred around the actual court case of the accused. As per usual, excellent procedural information, beautifully written and deeply engaging.

Goodreads review by Bill on July 30, 2018

Slowly, but surely I am working my way through Peter Robinson's excellent DCI Banks novels. I still have a long way to go though: as I finish book eight my wife is reading Careless Love which is book 25! Innocent Graves opens with a gripping first chapter in a fog bound graveyard. DCI Banks & his usu......more

Goodreads review by Karen on January 29, 2013

I usually like Robinson's books, but this one I really had to make myself finish it. I should have checked the book description a little more closely, and maybe some of the reviewers about what this particular book was about because it was about something I really am not comfortable reading about.
