A mystery from the past bursts in upon the present in this gripping Inspector Banks short story—featuring an excerpt from Peter Robinson's new novel In the Dark Places ("Thrilling"—Louise Penny). Acclaimed by Michael Connelly as "a man for all seasons," Inspector Alan Banks is among the most beloved characters in contemporary fiction. And now Banks confronts one of the most puzzling cases of his career—when a tourist claims that several decades earlier, in a previous life, he witnessed a murder committed nearby. Banks doesn't believe in the supernatural. Or superstition. But when evidence of a crime comes to light, he begins to wonder: How did this mysterious visitor know about a killing possibly committed before he was born? Ingenious, atmospheric, and poignant, 'Summer Rain' is perfect for both longtime Peter Robinson fans and those who have yet to discover one of the world's most popular mystery writers.
