WATCHING THE DARK

 Peter Robinson. WATCHING THE DARK. Hodder & Stoughton, 2012.

Set in Estonia, Banks and a female officer from internal affairs, pursue a lead on a cold case. A Yorkshire woman on a hen party trip to Estonia, disappears and is still missing seven years later. After the policeman who investigated her disappearance is murdered. After his wife has died and the blackmailers have no hold on him any longer. Annie Cabot is just returning to work after recovering from an injury.

The title refers to an Estonian column reporting on underworld activities--undocumented immigrant labourers, white slave trade.

Found this in our building's free library. Divination. Robinson is one of my favourite writers. Love going to Yorkshire with him.
