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.
