MASTER A MAZE OF MURDER.

When a 19-year-old girl is found dead in a tangle of alleyways known as The Maze, DCI Alan Banks is called in to investigate. With no shortage of suspects, Banks soon finds himself missing DI Annie Cabbot. Their personal problems aside, he could really use her sharp instincts on the case.

But Annie has troubles of her own. She’s looking into another murder, and, on the face of it, the two deaths have nothing in common. But as Annie digs deeper, she finds something disturbingly familiar in the case.

Perhaps she and Banks will find themselves working together again a lot sooner than expected…

A thrilling Alan Banks mystery from the master of the police procedural, Peter Robinson.

Reviews

Praise for PIECE OF MY HEART
:
'Brilliantly evokes the time of British psychedelia ... as well as being a terrific contemporary crime novel.'
<i>Independent on Sunday</i>
'Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league . . . PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly interweaves past and present, providing two strands of tension for the price of one, and further enhancing Alan Banks's reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops.'
Marcel Berlins, <i>The Times</i>
'Two riveting, equally interesting crime novels in one'
<i>Telegraph</i>
Watch for those twists - they'll get you every time
Ian Rankin
Robinson once again puts his skills to work in a police procedural that grips like pliers
Independent on Sunday
Classic Robinson: a labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation
Observer
Peter Robinson is good at producing ingenious mysteries, and this one does not disappoint
Daily Telegraph
Readers will be on the edge of their seats
