A murder/suicide or a sinister plot by MI6–that is the question facing Alan Banks and Annie Cabbot in this, the latest superb mystery from Peter Robinson. All the elements are in place–shadowy spies, sexual liaisons, terrorists and stodgy civil servants–and all seem determined to keep Banks and Cabbot from the truth. Ultimately, the truth is hard to determine, and Robinson reveals his story in such a way as to show just how illusive truth can be in the 21st century. – Barbara Hoagland
