Overview
This collection brings together six consecutive instalments of Peter Robinson's acclaimed Inspector Banks series, numbers sixteen through twenty-one. From a decades-old murder uncovered at a music festival site to a crossbow killing inside a police rehabilitation centre, each novel delivers the atmospheric Yorkshire settings, intricate plotting and compelling characters that have made DCI Alan Banks one of British crime fiction's most enduring detectives. A brilliant introduction or continuation for any mystery reader.
About the Books
Beginning with Piece of My Heart, Banks investigates a cold case stretching back to a 1969 rock concert alongside a fresh, brutal murder in a remote village. Friend of the Devil sees Banks and DI Annie Cabbot pursuing two seemingly unconnected killings that converge in disturbing ways. In All the Colours of Darkness, a suspicious "suicide" pulls Banks into a shadowy world where nothing is quite as it seems, and the threat edges uncomfortably close to home. Bad Boy raises the personal stakes further still, as Banks's own daughter becomes entangled with a dangerous man while he is away on holiday. Watching the Dark is especially personal: a fellow police officer is murdered with a crossbow, and Banks must navigate internal politics, buried secrets, and a cold case from Estonia to find the truth. Finally, Children of the Revolution finds Banks investigating the death of a disgraced former lecturer, unearthing a past riddled with scandal and intrigue. Across all six novels, Robinson balances meticulous police procedure with real emotional depth, cementing the series' reputation as a cornerstone of modern British crime writing.
