Blood at the Root (Inspector Banks Mysteries (Paperback))
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
There's a deliberate lack of excessive angst and glamour in Peter Robinson's books about Inspector Alan Banks and his fellow Yorkshire coppers, so first-time readers might think them bland. But under the books' placid surfaces, whole worlds of crime and justice are being worked out. In this ninth book in his increasingly popular series, Robinson gives Banks some serious problems of a personal and professional nature: a neglected wife and a ruthlessly ambitious superior. He also drops Banks into a frighteningly realistic neo-Nazi group called the Albion League, whose activities include drug dealing and murder. Other books in the series available in paperback include Innocent Graves, Final Account, Gallow's View, and Hanging Valley.

The New York Times Book Review, Marilyn Stasio
The green, green hills still soften the landscape of the Yorkshire Dales; but the times (and the crimes) are changing dramatically in the bucolic villages where Peter Robinson sets his sociologically acute police procedurals.
