What this book is about
Keith Rothwell is found murdered in his luxury home, apparently by professional criminals. The investigation reveals that Rothwell's life as a respectable retired accountant was a careful construction over something much darker — a connection to drug money laundering that he thought he had left behind. Inspector Banks and DS Philip Richmond trace the money through Yorkshire's financial world and into organized crime. One of the Banks novels most focused on the world of financial crime rather than personal psychology.
