Synopsis

‘The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong’ – Stephen King

New Town. New Cases. New Danger.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks has recently relocated with his family from stressful London to the Yorkshire Dales, but soon finds that life in the countryside is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined.

Three cases come to the fore: a voyeur is terrorizing the women of Eastvale; two thugs are breaking into homes; and an old woman is dead, possibly murdered. As the tension mounts, Banks must also deal with his attraction to a young psychologist, Jenny Fuller – and when both Jenny and Banks’s wife are drawn deeper into events, Banks realizes that his cases are weaving closer and closer together . . .

Gallows View is the first book in the Inspector Banks series, from the master of police procedural and bestselling author of Standing in the Shadows, Peter Robinson. The next instalment in the series is A Dedicated Man.

Critical acclaim for the Inspector Banks series:

‘A powerfully moving work . . . watch out for those twists – they'll get you every time’ – Ian Rankin

‘Top-notch police procedure’ – Jeffery Deaver

‘A wonderful novel’ – Michael Connelly

‘An addictive crime-novel series’ – New York Times

‘A guaranteed page-turner’ – The Mirror

‘Demonstrates how the crime novel, when done right, can reach parts that other books can't . . . A considerable achievement’ – The Guardian

‘One of the most authentic and atmospheric of crime series’ – The Independent

‘The master of police procedural’ – Mail on Sunday

‘Near, perhaps, even at the top of, the British crime writers' league’ – The Times

‘Banks is genuinely human, rather than a hard man’ – The Observer

^{_{Aftermath was a Sunday Times bestseller when it first published in 2001.}}
