內容簡介
1969 . . . In an era of free love and rebellion, a dead body is discovered among the detritus of a recently concluded rock festival—a beautiful young woman stabbed so savagely through the chest that a piece of her heart was sliced off.
Now . . . A freelance journalist, a stranger to the region, is savagely bludgeoned to death in a shocking act of violence with no apparent motive.
Two murders separated by four decades are investigated by two very different but equally haunted investigators—one, a casualty of war unable to come to terms with a confusing new world; the other, a rogue policeman harboring ghosts of his own. But the truth behind agrislypresent-day slaying may somehow be hidden in the amplified, drug-induced fog of a notorious past, propelling Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks into the darkest shadows of the peace, love, and rock 'n' roll generation.

媒體評論
銀行是其中一個最充分吸引這類人物的小說,很大程度上是因為他這樣羅賓遜先生投資許多意見和這樣一個根深蒂固存在於這個真實的世界。這個人物的謙遜的自然是一種冷淡的幽默一部分的吸引力。
——珍妮特的馬斯林,《紐約時報》
Banks is one of the most fully drawn figures in this genre of fiction, largely because Mr. Robinson invests him with so many opinions and such a firmly rooted presence in the real world. This character'sunassumingnature is adrylyhumorous part of his appeal.
