I just finished reading Many Rivers to Cross, the new Detective Superintendent Banks police procedural by Peter Robinson. These stories take place in West Yorkshire, England, and for such a rural area, I must say they have a lot of crime. This time a Muslim lad of 13 is found murdered and put in a garbage bin, which means a politically charged investigation for Detective Banks. At the same time, a friend of Banks, who was kidnapped from an orphanage in Moldavia at the age of 17 and forced into prostitution before finally making an escape, has started to track down her former tormentors to exact revenge. This is a very absorbing tale, well worth reading, and I strongly recommend it. And if you do happen to travel in Yorkshire anytime soon, watch your back.
