Synopsis

Before you discovered DCI Banks, Dectective Arvo Hughes was on the case in this vintage standalone crime thriller from Peter Robinson.

As a detective in the LAPD Threat Management Unit, Arvo Hughes has dealt with every kind of stalker there is - and in 1990s Hollywood, he's not short of work.

But when it comes to TV star Sarah Broughton, who has been receiving unsettling anonymous letters, even Arvo cannot find a pattern in this stalker's behaviour. The letters seemed harmless enough, until the actress discovers a mutilated body in the sand right outside her Malibu home.

Certain that Sarah's stalker must have met her before, Arvo realises his only chance to catch the killer before he gets closer to Sarah is to delve into her past - but nothing is straightforward in this case, and the squeaky-clean star seems to be keeping all memories of a shady history locked away . . .

About this title

Review:

Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation (Observer)

[Peter Robinson deserves a place] near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league (The Times)

Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wenching portraits of the characters who populate his world . . . top-notch police procedure (Jeffery Deaver)

If Robinson is to turn out one-off novels as assured as this perhaps we wouldn't mind too much if Alan Banks was to retire and take up beekeeping in Sussex (Daily Express on BEFORE THE POISON)

Book Description:

Vintage Peter Robinson: a standalone LAPD crime thriller, written and set 20 years ago - never before available in the United Kingdom, with a foreword from Michael Connelly.
