Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Peter Robinson comes this brilliant novel of suspense—a thrilling tale of family secrets and past evils that have spread from one generation to another and wreaked havoc on an unsuspecting town. One phone call from a concerned neighbor has inadvertently led police to Terence Payne, the elusive serial killer known only as "Chameleon." Now Payne is in custody, perhaps dying, and a long nightmare appears to be over at last. But is it? For Alan Banks—currently head of the local police force—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. Showcasing the dark forces of human nature, master of suspense Peter Robinson is at the height of his storytelling powers in a novel that will leave readers guessing until the final page.

Goodreads review by Bill on December 20, 2018

Back in 2010 I watched the first episode of a new TV crime series starring Stephen Tompkinson as DCI Alan Banks & what a brilliant start to a fantastic series it was too. Too many superlatives in that sentence perhaps ?! So, here I am at the end of 2018 reading Peter Robinson's 12th DCI Banks novel......more
