A skinny lad is found dead, his body carelessly stuffed into a wheelie bin. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team are called to investigate. Who was the boy, and where did he come from? Was he discarded as rubbish or left as a warning to someone? As the local press seize upon an illegal immigrant angle, and the national media on the story of yet another knife crime, the police are called to investigate a less newsworthy death - a middle-aged addict found dead on another estate. Banks finds the threads of each case seem to weave into one another, and to the dark side of organised crime in Eastvale. Does another thread link to his friend Zelda who is facing her own dark side? Banks' meditations on the past make him a figure readers feel they know intimately. 377pp, paperback.
