See all titles by Peter Robinson.From the New York Times
bestselling author comes a riveting collection of short fiction, marked
by the piercing psychological insight and brilliant characterization
that are hallmarks of his acclaimed novels
Ever since the publication of his
first mystery featuring Detective Inspector Alan Banks, Peter Robinson
has been steadily building a reputation for compulsively readable and
perceptive novels that probe the dark side of human nature. Plumbing the
territory that he has so successfully staked, The Price of Love and Other Stories includes two novellas and several stories featuring the Yorkshire policeman at his finest.
In the novella "Going Back,"
never before published in the United States, Banks returns home for a
family reunion, only to find it taking a decidedly sinister turn. In
"Like a Virgin," written especially for this volume, Banks revisits the
period in his life and the terrible crime that led him to leave London
for Eastvale. And in between, the disparate motives that move us to harm
one another, from love and jealousy to greed and despair, are all
explored with fascinating depth.
Edgy and smart, thrilling and
suspenseful, this remarkable collection is a must-have for Robinson
fans—and any fan of compelling crime fiction.
