New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinsonâs Chief Inspector Alan Banks must turn to a murder committed in the 1960s in order to solve a present-day homicide as he races to uncover their common link. 1969 . . . In an era of free love and rebellion, a dead body is discovered among the detritus of a recently concluded rock festivalâa beautiful young woman stabbed so savagely through the chest that a piece of her heart was sliced off. Now . . . A freelance journalist, a stranger to the region, is savagely bludgeoned to death in a shocking act of violence with no apparent motive. Two murders separated by four decades are investigated by two very different but equally haunted investigatorsâone, a casualty of war unable to come to terms with a confusing new world; the other, a rogue policeman harboring ghosts of his own. But the truth behind a grisly present-day slaying may somehow be hidden in the amplified, drug-induced fog of a notorious past, propelling Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks into the darkest shadows of the peace, love, and rock 'n' roll generation. A complex, multi-layered thriller, Piece of My Heart once again attests to Peter Robinsonâs incomparable storytelling genius. âKeeps you turning the pages into the night.⦠[Chief Inspector Banks is] good company.ââNew York Times Book Review
