Synopsis: A murder from the past is brought to light in this gripping short story in the New York Times–bestselling Inspector Banks series. Acclaimed by Michael Connelly as &“a man for all seasons,&” Inspector Alan Banks is among the best-loved 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, the Yorkshire police detective 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 compelling reading for both longtime fans of the series that has won multiple Edgar and Arthur Ellis Awards and those who have yet to discover this popular mystery writer. &“The best series on the market. Try one and tell me I&’m wrong.&” —Stephen King Also includes an excerpt from the author&’s &“thrilling&” novel In the Dark Places (Louise Penny)
