( Details ) Dimensions: 408 Pages | Canadian Author | ISBN: 0771076029 Published: January 2003 | From the Publisher While recuperating from the events of Aftermath on a Greek island, Inspector Alan Banks reads that the bones of his childhood friend, Graham Marshall, have been dug upin a field not far away from the road where he disappeared more than thirty-five years earlier. Intrigued by the discovery, and still consumed with guilt because of a related incident he failed to report at the time, Banks returns to his hometown in Cambridgeshire and becomes peripherally involved in the investigation, headed by newcomer Detective Inspector Michelle Hart. At the same time, a few counties away, the case of another missing teenager – the son of a famous model and step-son of anex-footballer, is handed to DI Annie Cabbot. Banks shuttles between the two cases far apart in time but perhaps not so far apart in character. When the lives of both detectives are threatened, Banks searches his own memories for clues, until he is finally forced to confront truths he would rather avoid, and finds that, in these investigations, the boundary between victim and perpetrator, guardian of the law and law-breaker is becoming ever more blurred. A gripping crime novel, set in the present day, The Summer That Never Was is also a gritty and evocative portrait of northern England in the sixties, and an exploration of the nature of memory, the destruction of families, andadolescence. About the Author One of the best writers of crime fiction in Canada today, and among the very best internationally, Peter Robinson is the author of twelve previous Inspector Banks novels, including Aftermath, which garnered rave reviews from readers and critics. His books have won or been short-listed for numerous awards, including the prestigious John Creasy Award (U.K.), the Edgar Award (U.S.), the Martin Beck Award (Sweden), and the Arthur Ellis Award (Canada). He lives in Toronto. Review Quotes “If you haven’t encountered Chief Inspector Alan Banks before, prepare for a crash course in taut, clean writing and subtle psychology. And watch for those twists – they’ll get you every time.” –Ian Rankin “Like P.D. James, Robinson works on a large, intricately detailed canvas.” – Publishers Weekly “Peter Robinson’s novels are chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art.” –Dennis Lehane “A devilishly good plotter…[Robinson’s] characterizations are so subtle that even the psychological profiler is stumped.” – New York Times Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 1 1. As Good As Ever!! Reviewer: M.P. from Windsor Date: 1/26/2003 5:18:19 PM As Good As Ever!! When I read a novel and find it wanting (but not intolerable), I tend to skip-read much of the text just so I can get to the end and move on. In reading Robinson's latest, I savoured each word. Enjoyed each nuance. Sunk into its substance. Empathized with each character and then wished I hadn't read it yet so I could read it again, for the first time. Thanks Peter!
