Gallows View
The first “devilishly good” (The New York Times Book Review) book in the thrilling bestselling crime series featuring British inspector Alan Banks as he seeks to catch a Jack the Ripper-like killer who is prowling the countryside. Chief Inspector Alan Banks moved away from London to the quaint village of Eastvale to find some peace, but trouble can be found in a village as well as in the city. Soon Banks must contend with a Peeping Tom, a group of thieving young thugs, and the brutal murder of an elderly woman in her home. A growing friendship with psychologist Jenny Fuller and tension with wife Sandra complicate matters, particularly when Jenny and Banks’s family are threatened. Ultimately, as the story builds to a surprising and terrifying climax, Banks must make some hard decisions.
A Necessary End
A policeman is stabbed to death at an anti-nuclear demonstration outside the Eastvale Community Centre in Yorkshire. In a politically motivated move, Detective Superintendent Richard “Dirty Dick” Burgess is pulled in from London to run the investigation. With a long list of suspects and an old enemy breathing down his neck, the odds are against Chief Inspector Alan Banks as he races to find the killer before Burgess and save his career. Third in the critically acclaimed Inspector Banks Mystery Series.
Friend of the Devil
The seventeenth installment of the internationally bestselling Inspector Banks series On a cliff edge overlooking the North Sea, a quadriplegic woman in a wheelchair stares unseeingly at the waves. She had been murdered. And, miles away, in a storeroom in the Maze, a medieval warren of yards and alleys at the heart of Eastvale, Yorkshire, a young woman lies sprawled on a heap of leather scraps. She too has been murdered. Their bodies are discovered at about the same time that DI Annie Cabbot, on secondment to the Eastern Area force, wakes with a severe hangover in the bed of a young man she barely recognizes. From these three strands, Peter Robinson seamlessly weaves a complex and compelling story. Friend of the Devil is a superb showcase of how deftly Robinson balances horror with humour, police procedures with the nuances of all-too-human emotions, and endings with the promise of new starts. Once again, he transcends the usual limits of the genre in this dazzling novel about the obsessive power of vengeance.

How many people decide to reflect seriously on how to live full and meaningful lives? How many then act to develop their competencies and knowledge to act on their conclusions? Of those who get this far, how many discover that the culture of their society is too oppressive and restrictive for them to achieve their aspirations? J. C. Merryweather was propelled into such reflection, and was also afforded the opportunities to develop his skills in evaluating evidence and arguments relating to ‘information’ available in the public domain and relevant to decisions for daily living. He learned how to make and take rational and sensible decisions, and how best to engage in general problem-solvi...
