Yorkshire, Inglaterra, verano de 1969. Al finalizar un concierto de rock, un grupo de jóvenes encuentra el cadáver de una muchacha en el interior de un saco de dormir. Todo apunta a que ha sido brutalmente asesinada y a que su muerte guarda cierta relacion con la banda de psicodelia Mad Hatters. Al menos, eso quedo reflejado en el expediente del caso, que en su mo-mento fue investigado por un tal Stanley Chadwick.Decadas despues, el inspector Alan Banks se topa de nuevo con el nombre de los Mad Hatters relacionado con una muerte; en este caso, la de un periodista que estaba escribiendo un ar-ticulo sobre la banda. Quiza sea una coincidencia, pero la muer-te del periodista parece guardar cierta relacion con aquel viejo caso del denominado "verano del amor". --- "El talento de Robinson... le permiten otorgar a Banks una mente agil y una presencia fuerte en el relato al tiempo que, gracias a la variedad de sus registros, cada personaje secundario cobra una individualidad tenaz." - New York Times Books Review "Si aun no te habias topado con el inspector Banks, preparate para un curso intensivo en tension, de una psicologia sutil."- Ian Rankin "Excepcional" The Washington Post "El Camaleon es una autentica novela negra moderna y cautivadora." - Bookseller "El inspector Banks sabe que a menudo las respuestas a los interrogantes que intenta resolver pueden encontrarse en lo mas profundo de la propia alma."- Michael Connelly "Entre las sombras ofrece todo el suspense que se pueda esperar, ademas de unas cuantas sorpresas." - The Toronto Star "Petrificante, evocativa, una obra de arte de profundos matices." - Dennis Lehane "Una novela tan vivida que quemara los dedos incluso a los detractores de los thrillers mas programaticos." - People
