Great airport reading choice; I think one of Robinson’s best.
About two dead adolescent boys – 30 years apart, one a schoolfriend of Banks, the other (investigated mainly by Annie Cobbott) contemporary, although also indirectly linked to Banks' past via his father, a folk/rock singer who committed suicide and whose model mother has remarried an ex-footballer.
The two plot strands are worked together well, combining the music and social mores that he writes about well. In comparison, the recent Banks books are a bit tired.
