Inspector Alan Banks' ninth case seesInspector Alan Banks' ninth case sees him investigating the murder of a
young racist. A man who, it seems, has lived by the sword and now died
by the sword. But it is never that simple... A night at the opera had
offered Chief Inspector Alan Banks a temporary respite from his troubles
- both at work and at home. But the telephone call summoning him to
Easlvale brings him back to reality with a bump. For the body of
teenager Jason Fox has been found in a dirty alleyway. He has been
kicked to death. At first it looks like an after-hours pub fight gone
wrong - until Banks learns that Jason was a member of a white power
organisation known as the Albion League. So who wanted him dead? The
Pakistani youths he had insulted in the pub earlier that evening? The
shady friends of his business partner Mark Wood? Or someone within the
Albion League itself? Someone who resented the teenager's growing power
in a brutal and unforgiving organisation...?
