Aftermath - The Gripping 12th Novel in the Number One Bestselling Inspector Alan Banks Crime Series

‘The Alan Banks mystery–suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong’ – Stephen King

A house of horror. A despicable serial killer. Banks’s darkest case.

When a concerned neighbour calls the police to number 35, The Hill after a domestic disturbance, the two constables are led to a truly horrific scene. They unwittingly uncover an elusive serial killer known as the Chameleon. With the killer finally in custody, it appears the nightmare is over.

Not for Banks, though. Too many questions remain unanswered at the house of horrors.

When they discover that there are more bodies than victims, Banks is caught in his darkest case yet. Could it be that the Chameleon killer was just one monster of many?

Aftermath is a pulse-pounding instalment in the bestselling Banks series, which became the major British ITV Drama DCI Banks. If you enjoyed it, then you’ll love The Summer That Never Was, the next title in this Yorkshire-based crime series.
