Synopsis
When a mild-mannered accountant is brutally murdered, Inspector Banks is called in to investigate. It’s a difficult case—the more Banks learns about the victim, Keith Rothwell, the more apparent it becomes that he was not at all what he seemed to be. Beneath the placid veneer lay a secret life of deception, sex and violence.
The case takes yet another unexpected twist when Banks’s old sparring partner, DS Richard "Dirty Dick"Burgess, turns up from the Yard. Haunted by his attraction to one of the suspects, a beautiful young classical musician, Banks finds himself racing against time as the killers seem to be dogging his footsteps. Only after he pits his job against his sense of justice does he discover the truth. And the truth leads him to one of the most difficult decisions of his career.

From the Back Cover
“Impressive. . . . A dark, unsettling story.”—New York Times Book Review
There’s more than blood and bone beneath the skin. . . .
The victim, a nondescript number cruncher, was murdered just yards away from his wife and daughter. And the crime scene is one that could chill the blood of even the most seasoned police officer.
But the strange revelations about an ordinary accountant’s extraordinary secret life are what truly mystify Chief Inspector Alan Banks. Lies breed further deceptions and blood begets blood . . . and all the while a killer watches, hidden in plain sight.
Twisty, suspenseful, and thoroughly riveting, Final Account is one of Peter Robinson’s best thrillers.
