Blood at the Root

In the long shadows of an alley a young man is murdered by an unknown assailant. The shattering echoes of his death will be felt throughout a small provincial community on the edge— because the victim, a youth whose sordid secret life was a tangle of bewildering contradictions, was far from innocent. Now a dedicated policeman beset by his own tormenting demons must follow the leads into the darkest corners of the human mind in order to catch a killer.
Delving into the complicated human psyche, Blood at the Root showcases Peter Robinson’ s singular talent in an exceptional novel of suspense that will linger in readers’ minds long past the final page.
