PETER Robinson's Inspector Banks classic whodunnit Caedmon's Song was first published in Canada in1990 and due to increased demand it is now available in the UK.

On a balmy June night, Kirsten, a young university student, strolls home through a silent moonlit park where she is viciously attacked. When she awakes in hospital, she has no recollection of that brutal night. But slowly and painfully details reveal themselves: two figures hovering over her and snatches of a haunting song...

Meanwhile Martha Browne arrives in Whitby, posing as an author researching a book. But her investigations are of a particularly macabre variety. Who is she hunting with such deadly determination? And why? Classy crime fiction that still takes some beating.
