I'm in love with the main character in this book, I think. Of course, that means I'll probably have to add Peter Robinson to my Authors list.
So this finds Alan Banks in Greece recovering from a previous case, where he reads a short article in the paper about bones being discovered near where he grew up. As it turns out, the bones are those of a friend of his from his teen years. In spite of having another week of leave, he returns to England to see if he might have any information to help the local police.
He also finds out that a boy in his own area has disappeared. The two cases track together--somewhat obviously--but with entirely different ending points. One takes away from the book as a whole the wishful-thinking of parents who think they know their teens, and how good teens are at concealing from everyone what they are really thinking...and doing.
Really good book.
