"The climax, choreographed to a furious pace, should fill the land with the sound of pages turning." —Toronto Star

The classic first novel in Peter Robinson's internationally bestselling Inspector Banks series!
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks of the Criminal Investigation Department has recently relocated from London to Eastvale, a quiet town in the Yorkshire dales, seeking to escape to stress of city life. But he soon finds that life in the country is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined . . .
As a peeping Tom disturbs the peace of Eastvale women, two local teenagers commit crimes that escalate from theft to violence. Then, an elderly woman is found brutally slain in her home. As the cases weave closer and closer together, Banks finds himself caught in a net of danger that threatens his suddenly vulnerable personal life. Haunting and harrowing, Gallows View is powerful novel of suspense that will linger long in the mind.

      In Edgar Award–nominated Robinson's 1991 book, the first in a series featuring British inspector Alan Banks, readers meet Banks as he moves to Yorkshire seeking peace of mind. His retirement is short-lived as a contemporary Jack the Ripper begins prowling the countryside. Mark Honan delivers a powerful and affecting performance that will make Banks a favorite for years to come. Honan's stage presence and pitch-perfect dialect compose a stirring atmosphere filled with all sorts of odd occurrences and evil events. A truly compelling listen. An Avon paperback.
