Klappentext zu „Children of the Revolution “
A disgraced college lecturer is found murdered with 5,000 pounds in his pocket on a disused railway line near his home. Since being dismissed from his job for sexual misconduct four years previously, he has been living a poverty-stricken and hermit-like existence in this isolated spot.The suspects range from several individuals at the college where he used to teach to a woman who knew the victim back in the early '70s at Essex University, then a hotbed of political activism. When Banks receives a warning to step away from the case, he realises there is much more to the mystery than meets the eye - for there are plenty more skeletons to come out of the closet . . .
Autoren-Porträt von Peter Robinson
Peter Robinson, geb. 1950 in Yorkshire, lebt in Toronto, Kanada. Er feiert mit seiner Serie um den sympathischen und sehr menschlichen Inspector Alan Banks diesseits und jenseits des Atlantiks große Erfolge und erhielt zahlreiche Preise in den USA, Großbritannien und Europa. Großbritannien besucht er regelmäßig, aber außerhalb zu leben, bringt seiner Meinung nach 'eine sehr sinnvolle Distanz zu Großbritannien'.

Rezension zu „Children of the Revolution “
As Robinson slowly moves towards a fitting and satisfying climax he manages to increase the tempo with each turn of the page thanks to a well-crafted and multi layered plot. -- Milo's Rambles blog Praise for Peter Robinson -- : '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' -- Marcel Berlins, The Times Classic Robinson: a labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation -- Observer Robinson also has a way of undercutting the genre's familiarity. With a deceptively unspectacular language, he sets about the process of unsettling the reader -- Independent
