Luke, een vijftienjarige jongen, verdwijnt spoorloos. Het lijkt uitgesloten dat hij is weggelopen... Inspecteur Alan Banks assisteert bij het onderzoek naar de verdwijning. Zijn speurtocht valt samen met het onderzoek naar een stoffelijk overschot dat recent is opgegraven. Het blijkt te gaan om een vroegere jeugdvriend van Banks, Graham, die meer dan vijfendertig jaar geleden – in de zomer van 1965 – verdween. Het spookbeeld dat Banks al die jaren heeft achtervolgd, komt tot leven. Hij heeft zichzelf nooit vergeven dat hij misschien de verdwijning van Graham op zijn geweten heeft, en mogelijk ook zijn dood. Banks wordt heen en weer geslingerd tussen een verleden dat hij het liefst zou vergeten en de zoektocht naar een vijftienjarige jongen in het heden. De overeenkomsten tussen de twee zaken zijn verontrustend. Kan hij het noodlot afwenden?

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks investigates the chilling case of Brenda Scupham, a welfare mother who unwittingly hands her seven-year-old daughter, Gemma, over to child abductors claiming to be social workers.

In dit deel van de in Yorkshire spelende serie over inspecteur Alan Banks komt de misdaad dicht bij huis. Banks vindt op zijn antwoordapparaat een verontrustend telefoontje van zijn broer Roy uit Londen, het rijke, zwarte schaap van de familie. Roy is onbereikbaar en ongerust reist Banks af naar Londen. Ondertussen ontdekt inspecteur Annie Cabbot, collega en ex-vriendin van Banks, op het lijk van een vermoorde vrouw een briefje met Alan Banks' adres. En terwijl Annie zich afvraagt wat Banks' band met de dode vrouw was, is Banks op zoek naar zijn inmiddels spoorloos verdwenen broer. Al gauw blijkt er een verband te bestaan tussen Roy en de vermoorde vrouw, waarbij een abortuskliniek en Oost-Europese criminelen een rol spelen en Banks zelf gevaar loopt. Spannende, goed geschreven, klassieke detectiveroman met psychologisch goed uitgewerkte hoofdpersonen en een mooi eigentijds plot. Peter Robinson (Yorkshire, 1950) woont in Canada. Zijn werk werd meermalen bekroond. Ook in Nederland wordt zijn werk, pas gedeeltelijk vertaald, steeds populairder. Gelijktijdig met dit deel verscheen het tot nu toe nooit vertaalde eerste deel uit de Alan Banks serie 'Stille blik' in pocketeditie.

Een grote demonstratie in het anders zo rustige Yorkshire eindigt in de arrestatie van vijftig demonstranten en de gewelddadige dood van een jonge agent. Vanuit Londen wordt hoofdinspecteur Richard 'Dirty Dick' Burgess gestuurd om het moordonderzoek te leiden, iets wat niet goed valt bij Alan Banks. Terwijl heethoofd Burgess een ware terreurcampagne begint tegen de bewoners van een plaatselijke commune, begint Banks zijn eigen onderzoek. Maar daarbij gaat hij rechtstreeks in tegen Burgess' activiteiten en dat wordt hem niet in dank afgenomen.

Inspecteur Alan Banks is net met zijn vrouw en twee kinderen verhuisd van het rumoerige Londen naar het rustige provinciestadje Eastvale, als hij te maken krijgt met een brute moord. Een inbraak loopt uit op de dood van het bejaarde slachtoffer en er zijn maar weinig aanwijzingen voor de politie om mee te werken. Wanneer ook nog een gluurder voor grote onrust onder de vrouwen van Eastvale zorgt, komt de politie onder steeds grotere publieke druk te staan om de dader te vinden. Dan krijgt Banks hulp van psychologe Jenny Fuller en de twee voelen zich duidelijk tot elkaar aangetrokken. Ook in Banks' priveleven stijgt de spanning.

Vlak bij het dorpje Helmthorpe in Yorkshire wordt het lichaam gevonden van Harry Steadman, half begraven onder een ingestort muurtje. Steadman was historicus en leidde samen met zijn vrouw een teruggetrokken leven. De inwoners van Helmthorpe kenden hem als een vriendelijk man die geen vlieg kwaad zou doen, dus wie zou hem hebben willen vermoorden? De gruwelijke moordzaak stelt inspecteur Alan Banks voor een raadsel. In eerste instantie lijkt niemand een motief te hebben voor de moord, maar wanneer Banks dieper graaft blijkt dat er toch meer dan één persoon is die niet de waarheid spreekt. De sleutel tot de oplossing lijkt te liggen bij een jonge meisje, Sally Lumb, die meer van de zaak lijkt af te weten. Maar zal zij Banks in vertrouwen nemen?

Als een gehucht in Yorkshire, dat destijds door de vorming van een waterreservoir onder water is verdwenen, na vijftig jaar weer tevoorschijn komt, rijst er tevens een skelet op.

Wanneer inspecteur Banks op zoek gaat naar zijn broer, wordt vlakbij een vrouw vermoord met zijn adres in haar handen.

Nadat de lichamen van twee ontvoerde meisjes zijn gevonden, duikt een hoofdinspecteur in de wereld van kindermishandeling, incest en pedofilie.

Inspecteur Banks krijgt de opdracht op een discrete manier de weggelopen dochter van zijn directe chef op te sporen.

The reigns of the kings and queens in this book cover nearly five hundred years, from the accession of the Tudor King Henry VII to the present day. It would require a large history book to tell in detail all the things which have happened in Britain during their five hundred years: wars, revolutions, struggles between king and parliament, treaties, alliances, and the growth of population and industry have changed the lives of the people. More than once Britain has been in danger of invasion: British armies have fought and conquered all over the world; the British navy has policed the seven seas. New lands have been discovered; a great Empire founded and peacefully surrendered. Of the little towns of two or three thousand inhabitants in 1485, some remain much as they were; others have grown into great cities. In place of the village craftsmen who supplied the simple needs of the people, there are now factories and workshops employing thousands of skilled hands. Science, technology, and medical research have changed everything. Today people live longer, travel faster, and communicate with one another more quickly, in a world more dangerous - yet with more possibilities for good - than ever before.

One phone call from a concerned neighbor has inadvertently led police to Terence Payne, the elusive serial killer known only as "Chameleon." Now the fiend is in custody, perhaps dying, and a long nightmare appears to be over at last. But is it? In Acting Detective Superintendent Alan Banks's mind too many questions remain unanswered at the chamber of horrors the press will dub the "House of Payne." Because the darkness has not yet lifted, the casualties are still mounting...and there are still monsters loose in the world.

The crime scene was almost surreal: a stone barn converted to a garage where a corpse knelt in submission, surrounded by antique farm implements and a shining BMW. The victim and his wife had just returned from celebrating their anniversary; now, suddenly, death had parted them. She was bound and gagged inside the house with their teenage daughter. He had been led outside and killed.

Práce s kameny a vodou je umělecký proces, který vyžaduje čas a pečlivost. Umělec si uvědomuje, jak důležité je ustálit počáteční představu a vyhnout se zkratkám. Klíčovými pravidly úspěšného návrhu jsou jednoduchost a smělost. Je důležité se seznámit s přírodními materiály a vybírat, dokud si nejste jisti svým návrhem. Může to zahrnovat vyšší výdaje na vybavení pro manipulaci s většími kameny. Velké kameny lze nalézt na nepřístupných místech a jejich správné umístění může mít na zahradě ohromný efekt, i když je prostor malý. Při výběru kamenů je důležité zohlednit jejich sousedství, orientaci a hloubku ponoření. Pokud se těmto aspektům nevěnuje pozornost, může výsledek vypadat nekoordinovaně. Někdy je lepší zaměřit se na vodní prvek, který lze snadno osadit. Odměny za vytvoření harmonické zahrady s vodou a kameny však převyšují případné potíže. Při vytváření krajinných prvků je nezbytné správně posoudit přirozenou krajinu a mít pomoc při manipulaci s těžkými kameny. Každý přírodní prvek má svou jedinečnou krásu a měl by odrážet vaši osobnost. Jakmile jsou kameny a voda na svém místě, může být obtížné provádět úpravy. Tato příručka nabízí rady pro plánování a výsadbu a seznamuje s různými prvky zahrady, jako jsou kameny, fontány a jezírka.
