Many Rivers to Cross

Praise for the DCI Banks series - :

Near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers’ league. - Times

The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong.

This is vintage Banks - a dogged search for truth which never once loses its grip on its hero’s intuition and charm. - Daily Mail

The master of the police procedural. - Mail on Sunday

Robinson is prolific, but with each book he manages to ring the changes. - Guardian

Banks’ slow but dogged pursuit of murderers and his meditations on the past make him a figure readers feel they know intimately and trust implicitly and, despite moments of darkness, the series warmth makes you feel all’s right with the world. - S Magazine

Robinson has a unique knack of revealing to the layman the painstaking and ingenious ways in which the numerous experts who work for the police can wheedle out the most infinitesimal clues surrounding a suspicious death. - On Yorkshire Magazine
