BAD BOY

Peter Robinson. Bad Boy. McC&S, 2010.

A mother turns in a handgun to police and the world goes awry. Tracy Banks runs off with the bad boy and then becomes his hostage. Annie gets shot. Banks gets back from USA, jet-lagged. 

This is my 6th Robinson title in 3 years. Even move than Rebus (Rankin) or Gamache (Penny).

CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION

Peter Robinson. CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION. Hodder, 2013.

I think my favourite D.C.I. Banks story yet. The body of a disgraced university professor is found on the tracks beneath a bridge, with an envelope containing 5K pounds in its pocket. Banks is warned off pursuing a line of inquiry which involves a local lady.
