When a concerned neighbour calls the police to number 35, The Hill after a domestic disturbance, the two constables are led to a truly horrific scene. They unwittingly uncover an elusive serial killer known as the Chameleon. With the killer finally in custody, it appears the nightmare is over. Not for Banks, though.

Could it be that the the Chameleon killer was just one monster of many? Aftermath is a pulse-pounding instalment in the bestselling Banks series, which became the major British ITV Drama DCI Banks.
