It is a priority for CBC to create products that are accessible to all in Canada including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. Sally Beamish: Andante from Viola Concerto No. 2 – The Seafarer “ by Tabea Zimmermann, Ola Rudner & Swedish Chamber Orchestra I began this novel with some trepidation as I’d found its predecessor Careless Love to be a massive disappointment. However, I soon found myself hooked on this latest story featuring Superintendent Alan Banks. As the local press seize upon an illegal immigrant angle, and the national media cover the story of another stabbing, there is a less newsworthy death: a middle-aged heroin addict found dead of an overdose in another estate, scheduled for redevelopment. Banks finds the threads of each case seem to be connected to the other, and to the dark side of organized crime in Eastvale. Does another thread link to his friend Zelda, who is coming to terms with her own dark past? The truth may be more complex — or much simpler — than it seems.

The latest absorbing police procedural mystery in the series of Detective Superintendent Alan Banks. This book can easily be read as a standalone. The author Peter Robinson has a wonderful writing style and I love the quirky musical references he adds into the storyline. DS Alan Banks is working class, brooding and has a charming demeanour. Set in the fictional English town of Eastvale in the Yorkshire Dales. Robinson has stated that Eastvale is modelled on Ripon and Richmond and is somewhere north of Ripon, close to the A1 road[ sic]. [5] A former member of the London Metropolitan Police, Inspector Alan Banks leaves the capital for a quieter life in the Dales. Since 2010 several of the novels have been adapted for television under the series title DCI Banks with Stephen Tompkinson in the title role. [22] Unfortunately, I didn’t even get that. Simplistic writing, numerous sexist descriptions of female characters, unbelievable police procedure – I’m sure that the police do not divulge what they know or suspect to a potential perpetrator of the crimes they are investigating – and 1970’s style police behaviour e.g. drinking on duty at suspects houses!
