Bad Boy
Banks isn’t back – and that’s the problem.
If DCI Alan Banks had been in his office when his old neighbour came calling, perhaps it would have turned out differently.
Perhaps an innocent man would still be alive. And perhaps Banks’s daughter wouldn’t be on the run with a wanted man.
But Banks is on holiday, blissfully unaware of the terrible chain of events set in motion by the discovery of a loaded gun in a young woman’s bedroom, and his daughter’s involvement with the ultimate bad boy . . .
A thrilling Alan Banks mystery from the master of the police procedural, Peter Robinson.

Brilliant! . . . Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wrenching portraits of the characters who populate his world, not to mention the top-notch police procedure
Praise for PIECE OF MY HEART and FRIEND OF THE DEVIL
'Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league . . . PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly interweaves past and present . . . further enhancing Alan Banks's reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops'
Peter Robinson is good at producing ingenious mysteries, and this one does not disappoint
A police procedural that grips like pliers
It's neither the setting nor even the characters that makes Robinson's work so satisfying, but the plottning of Swiss-watch precision
Superbly cinematic from the beginning to the explosive finale, this would be a thrilling movie
