{Review} Children of the Revolution by #PeterRobinson {Giveaway} @HarperCollins

Multiple award-winning, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Peter Robinson returns with a superb tale of mystery and murder that takes acclaimed British Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks back to the early 1970s-a turbulent time of politics, change, and radical student activism

"Robinson rolls out a police procedural with exquisite precision."-USA Today

The body of a disgraced college lecturer is found on an abandoned railway line. In the four years since his dismissal for sexual misconduct, he'd been living like a hermit. So where did he get the 5,000 pounds found in his pocket?

Leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks begins to suspect that the victim's past may be connected to his death. Forty years ago the dead man attended a university that was a hotbed of militant protest and divisive, bitter politics. And as the seasoned detective well knows, some grudges are never forgotten-or forgiven. 

Just as he's about to break the case open, his superior warns him to back off. Yet Banks isn't about to stop, even if it means risking his career. He's certain there's more to the mystery than meets the eye . . . and more skeletons to uncover before the case can finally be closed.

Well this is the first book that I have read by this author. And although this is book 21 in the Inspector Banks series I didn't feel that I missed out on to much. I loved the setting of Yorkshire, England.  The story was very good the characters interesting and the ending was even better as there was no cliff hanger and everything was tied up pretty well.  This is a fast to start crime novel that will grab the reader with a finely tunes plot that they will find is hard to put down.
