Inspector Banks

Peter Robinson

27 books

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks left London for the quiet Yorkshire Dales — but quiet never lasts. Peter Robinson's award-winning series is beloved for its rich sense of place, literary depth, and a protagonist whose love of music and literature feels entirely real. The books grow darker and more psychologically complex as the series matures.
