• “Fans of British police procedurals who have not yet discovered Robinson are in for a treat. His Inspector Banks series combine intricate, intriguing plots with complex characters and bleakly beautiful Yorkshire settings…Once Banks begins his search into London’s seamy underbelly, all doubts are suspended, and the reader is hooked. A great read for those dark and stormy night.”

  — Library Journal

• “Banks can’t help finding sharply nuanced pain, hard-won wisdom, and moral complexity everywhere he looks—at suspects, at victims, even in the mirror. The result is mystery-mongering at once as sensitive and grandly scaled as P. D. James’.”
