About this ebook
A murder from the past is brought to light in this gripping short story in the New York Times–bestselling Inspector Banks series.
Acclaimed by Michael Connelly as “a man for all seasons,” Inspector Alan Banks is among the best-loved characters in contemporary fiction. And now Banks confronts one of the most puzzling cases of his career—when a tourist claims that several decades earlier, in a previous life, he witnessed a murder committed nearby.
Banks doesn’t believe in the supernatural. Or superstition. But when evidence of a crime comes to light, the Yorkshire police detective begins to wonder: How did this mysterious visitor know about a killing possibly committed before he was born?
Ingenious, atmospheric, and poignant, “Summer Rain” is compelling reading for both longtime fans of the series that has won multiple Edgar and Arthur Ellis Awards and those who have yet to discover this popular mystery writer.
“The best series on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong.” —Stephen King
Also includes an excerpt from the author’s “thrilling” novel In the Dark Places (Louise Penny)
