Hatred and murder breed in dark places ...In the long shadows of an alley a young man is murdered, savagely kicked and beaten to death by assailant or assailants unknown. It is a crime shocking in its raw brutality, and its shattering repercussions will be felt throughout a small provincial community on the edge -- because the victim was far from innocent, a youth whose sordid secret life was a tangle of terrifying contradictions and virulent racial hatred. And now a dedicated policeman beset by his own tormenting demons must follow the leads into the rankest pits of man's inhumanity to man -- to catch a killer before his village explodes.

Blood at The Root was not as good as previous Banks centered novels, however it is certainly worth the read. Robinson is masterful in understating while effectively communicating what is happening beneath the surface. I am hooked on the series and just started another one
