This was Peter's sixth Arthur Ellis award. His critically acclaimed DCI Banks novels have won numerous awards in Britain, the United States, Canada and Europe, and are published in translation all over the world.

Classic Robinson: labyrinthine plot merged with deft
characterisation
*Observer*
[Peter Robinson deserves a place] near, perhaps even at the top of,
the British crime writers' league
*The Times*
Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wenching portraits of the
characters who populate his world . . . top-notch police
procedure
*Jeffery Deaver*
If Robinson is to turn out one-off novels as assured as this
perhaps we wouldn't mind too much if Alan Banks was to retire and
take up beekeeping in Sussex
*Daily Express*
