Bad Boy by Peter Robinson

When Juliet Doyle discovers a gun in her daughter's bedroom, she turns to old friend DCI Alan Banks for advice. But Banks is taking a much-needed holiday, and it's left to DI Annie Cabbot to deal with the removal of the firearm. No one could have foreseen the operation's disastrous consequences, or that the Doyles would not be the only family affected. Tracy Banks has fallen for the wrong boy. Her flatmate's boyfriend is good-looking, ambitious, and surrounded by an intoxicating air of mystery. He's also very dangerous. When Tracy warns him that the police might be on his tail, he persuades her to go on the run with him, and flattered by his attention, she agrees. Before she knows it, a deadly chase across the country is set in motion. And on his return, completely unsuspecting of his daughter's precarious situation, Banks is plunged into his most terrifying, and personal case yet.
It's neither the setting nor even the characters that makes Robinson's work so satisfying, but the plottning of Swiss-watch precision * Independent *
Superbly cinematic from the beginning to the explosive finale, this would be a thrilling movie * Joesph Wambaugh *
Riveting * The Times *
Praise for PIECE OF MY HEART and FRIEND OF THE DEVIL * : *
Brilliant!. . Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wrenching portraits of the characters who populate his world, not to mention the top-notch police procedure * Jeffery Deaver *
'Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league . . . PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly interweaves past and present . . . further enhancing Alan Banks's reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops' * Marcel Berlins, The Times *
Peter Robinson is good at producing ingenious mysteries, and this one does not disappoint * Susanna Yager, Daily Telegraph *
A police procedural that grips like pliers * Independent on Sunday *
