Peter Robinson: Friend of the Devil (USA 2015)

From the Publisher:
New York Times bestselling and Edgar award-winning author Peter Robinson -- a riveting double homicide leaves two seasoned detectives baffled as they race against the clock before more corpses surface.

Two murders... two towns...
A woman sits in a wheelchair perched on a cliff high above the sea, her throat slit from ear to ear...
In a maze of narrow alleys behind a market square, a teenaged girl has been murdered after a night of drunken revelries with her friends.

A pair of horrific crimes, the first -- a seemingly senseless murder of a helpless paraplegic -- falls to Inspector Annie Cabbot, on loan to a local police department. The terrible death of young Hayley Daniels becomes Chief Inspector Alan Banks's investigation.

Friend of the Devil is a chilling, brilliant, and utterly mesmerizing novel of suspense.

A Maze of Murder
The victim is no older than Bank's own daughter. Just 19, she's found raped and strangled in the dark tangle of cobbled alleyways they call The Maze.

There's no shortage of suspects, and Banks finds himself missing DI Annie Cabbot. Their personal problems aside, he could do with her sharp instincts on this case.

On the face of it, the two deaths have nothing in common. But as Annie digs deeper, she finds something disturbingly familiar in the case. Perhaps she and Banks will find themselves working together again a lot sooner than expected.

Chief Inspector Alan Banks and Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot must work together to solve two chilling crimes in a stunning new novel by New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinson

One morning in March, on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea, a woman named Karen Drew is found in her wheelchair with her throat slit. Back in Eastvale on that same morning, in a tangle of narrow alleys behind a market square, the body of Hayley Daniels is found raped and strangled.

Two murders... two towns...

On loan to a sister precinct, Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot draws the first case. Karen Drew seems to have lived a quiet and nearly invisible life for the past seven years. Try as she might, Annie turns up nothing in the woman's past that might have prompted someone to wheel her out to the sea and to her death.

Meanwhile, in the Hayley Daniels murder, Chief Inspector Alan Banks has suspects galore. Everywhere she went, the nineteen-year-old student attracted attention. Anyone could have followed her on the night she was out drinking with friends, making sure she never made it back home.

Then a breakthrough spins Annie's case in a shocking and surprising new direction, straight toward Banks. Coincidence? Not in Eastvale. Banks and Annie are searching for two killers who might strike again at any moment and with bloody fury.
