Description
“The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are, simply put, the best series now on the market.”
—Stephen King
Peter Robinson is one of the very best in the crime fiction business—a teller of dark police tales who stands firmly in the bestseller ranks alongside Ian Rankin and Elizabeth George. In All the Colors of Darkness, the maestro whose masterworks Janet Maslin of the New York Times compares to “the masculine, brooding work of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, George Pelecanos, and Jonathan Kellerman,” brings back his unforgettable series characters Yorkshire Chief Inspector Alan Banks and Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot. A gripping story with echoes of Shakespeare’s Othello set in our contemporary age of terrorist fears, All the Colors of Darkness supports the Miami Herald’s contention that “it’s a crime if you miss [this] author.”

Reviews
Peter Robinson's latest entry in the Alan Banks police procedural series is a rather dark one. Banks's investigation of what at first seems a simple murder-suicide involves him with Britain's security services, of whose actions Robinson doesn't have a very high opinion. He mentions a couple of books that Banks reads for background and it's safe to assume Robinson has read them too. All is grist to Banks's mill, even going to a Shakespeare production helps him realize what has really happened in the case. Otherwise, we are treated to more of the excellent police procedurals Robinson is known for.The relationship between Banks and his assistant and sometime lover DI Annie Cabbot is still unsettled; everyone is still trying to figure out their new Chief Superintendent, Catherine Gervaise; and we're learning more about Winsome Jackman and some of the other characters in the station. In short, another excellent book, and now we have to wait nearly a year for the next one. Although I found the ending somewhat unsatisfactory, I think that goes with the territory of police work intersecting with spy work.
