Gallows View: The First Novel In The Inspector Banks Series From The No.1 Bestseller
About this ebook
Recently relocated from London, DCI Alan Banks finds that life in the countryside is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined. As he grapples with three perplexing cases – a voyeur terrorizing local women, a string of home invasions, and a suspicious death of an elderly woman – Banks must also navigate his growing attraction to psychologist Jenny Fuller. But when both Jenny and Banks's wife are drawn into the mysteries, the detective realizes his cases are intertwining in dangerous ways.
Gallows View is the captivating first instalment in the internationally bestselling Inspector Banks series from Peter Robinson, the master of the police procedural. Delving deep into the darkest corners of the human psyche, this gripping British crime novel delivers suspense, atmosphere, and tightly-plotted twists that will keep you guessing until the last page. Hailed by critics and readers alike for its authentic sense of place, the series continues with A Dedicated Man.
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, and the ITV DCI Banks television series, Robinson's award-winning mysteries offer 'a powerfully moving work' (Ian Rankin) that 'demonstrates how the crime novel, when done right, can reach parts that other books can’t' (Guardian).
