Standing in the Shadows by Peter Robinson (2023 fiction)

This is his latest and the last of his 28 novels, as he passed away in October of 2022. As always with his DCI Banks series, he keeps the reader guessing until the last pages. An ex-girlfriend went missing in 1980, but her body isn’t found until an archaeologist discovers it in 2019, which sets off an investigation with twists and turns that is very well plotted in spite of its “now and then” narrative.
