Playing With Fire

Playing With Fire is the fourteenth novel in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, in which two narrow boats are set ablaze on the Eastvale canal, leaving human remains and signs of arson. As DCI Banks and DI Annie Cabbot investigate, they uncover a web of suspicious characters connected to the victims—a young woman and a mysterious artist—and confront the possibility of deliberate attack. With the arsonist striking again, the investigation pushes Banks's skills to their limits.
