Complicated, unexpected and startling, the story is all that, but Robinson brings all the disparate parts together so cleverly that the result on finishing the novel is a satisfaction that all readers want at the end of a good book * On-Magazine * Robinson pulls the reader in with deft characterizations, powerfully understated action scenes, and strong locales . . . A s trong addition to the Banks series that suggests tantalizing possibilities for the next installment * Kirkus * The initial first twelve novels of the Inspector Banks Series revolves around the crime investigation by Banks.

Robinson’s early books were all set in a small area of Yorkshire, with some wonderful forays into Leeds, Harrogate and various other parts of the North.

They were superbly readable and many of his fans cut their teeth on them. His later departure into international crime with people, actions and criminality that put what we may call ‘normal’ murder and the hunt for the murderer, into another league altogether, are very different from his early works and clearly show that Robinson has more than one string to his bow.
