About this title

Review:

Outstanding . . . one of the best voices in contemporary fiction (Publishers Weekly)

After 18 tales of the fiendishly good DCI Alan Banks, the bestselling author delves into his leading man's past (Shortlist)

The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are, simply put, the best series on the market (Stephen King)

Robinson once again puts his skills to work in a police procedural that grips like pliers (Independent on Sunday)

'Outstanding . . . one of the best voices in contemporary crime fiction' (Publishers Weekly)

'A first class storyteller' (shotsmag.co.uk)

'After 18 tales of the fiendishly good DCI Alan Banks, the bestselling author delves into his leading man's past. For die-hard fans [The Price of Love] explains how Banks came to be in Yorkshire and how he got his mysterious scar. For the rest of us, it's the start of a beautiful relationship with the novelists's extensive back catalogue' (Shortlist)

Praise for Piece of My Heart and Friend of the Devil (:)

A police procedural that grips like pliers (Independent on Sunday)

The writing is well up to the author's high standard (The Times)

From the Publisher:

Several of the (poorer) reviews for this book are based on not realising that this is a novella and collection of stories.

The product description, and the blurb printed on the book, make it very clear that it is not a novel:
'In addition to the brand-new novella that fills in the gaps in Banks's life before Yorkshire, Peter Robinson gives us ten more brilliant and eclectic stories that have never before been published in the UK.'.
