Strange Affair (Inspector Banks #15) by Peter Robinson

When Alan Banks receives a mysterious and disturbing telephone call from his brother Roy, he abandons the peaceful Yorkshire Dales for the bright lights of London to search him out. But Roy has vanished into thin air, and now Banks fears this could have been their final conversation.

Meanwhile, DI Annie Cabbot is called to a murder scene on a quiet stretch of road just outside Eastvale. A young woman has been found dead in her car . . . and in the back pocket of her jeans, written on a slip of paper, police discover Banks's name and address.

Living in his brother's empty, luxurious South Kensington house, Banks finds himself digging into the life of the brother he never really knew or even liked. And as he begins to uncover a few troubling surprises, Annie must single-handedly track down the Eastvale victim's friends and colleagues.

It seems that both trails are leading towards frightening conclusions. But when the cases begin to intersect, the consequences for Banks and Annie become terrifying . . .
