Se centra en un caso sombrío en el que desaparecieron atractivas chicas jóvenes, víctimas de un astuto asesino psicótico cuya identidad está bien oculta detrás de una fachada de respetabilidad. El inspector jefe de detectives Alan Banks de la policía de Yorkshire está a cargo del caso, pero también tiene distracciones personales inevitables. Su esposa separada está embarazada de su amante y quiere el divorcio por el que ha estado arrastrando los talones. Had I known that this novel was inspired by an infamous Canadian crime from the 1990s I would not have read it. It annoys me when authors create stories (and make money) from recent real life crimes where individuals are still suffering. Robinson even mentions that horrific crime on more than one occasion. For this reason I find it difficult to rate this book rationally, or even more irrationally, to think kindly of Banks. Cheap shot, Robinson. Peter Robinson has outdone himself with this complex and often brooding, police procedural series. His character of Alan Banks is exceptionally complex but so very human. He is what makes this series so outstanding. As the bodies keep piling up, the mystery keeps the reader guessing right to very end. Robinson has thrown in some very clever twists to help in confusing us but then that is the fun of the entire adventure isn't it? aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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.
