Von Robinson, Peter

When Juliet Doyle discovers a gun in her daughter''s bedroom, she turns to old friend DCI Alan Banks for advice. But Banks is taking a much-needed holiday, and it''s left to DI Annie Cabbot to deal with the removal of the firearm. No one can foresee the operation''s disastrous consequences, or that the Doyles will not be the only family affected. Banks''s daughter Tracy has fallen for the wrong boy. Her flatmate''s boyfriend is good-looking, ambitious, and surrounded by an intoxicating air of mystery. He''s also very dangerous. When Tracy warns him that the police might be on his tail, he persuades her to go on the run with him, and flattered by his attention, she agrees. Before she knows it, a deadly chase across the country is set in motion. And on his return, completely unsuspecting of Tracy''s perilous situation, Banks is plunged into his most terrifying, personal case yet.

In Bad Boy, as before in his impressive body of work, Peter Robinson has tackled ? and mastered ? a naggingly recurrent problem for crime writers: the over-familiar scenario. He grabs with both hands the notion of the male/female copper duo eternally at odds with each other and does something subtly different, always coming up with some new innovation to keep cliché firmly at bay. Here again are DCI Alan Banks and his associate DI Annie Cabbot tackling particularly knotty problems, and even though Banks is offstage for a chunk of the action (evidence, again, of Robinson ringing the changes), we are reminded why readers are so at ease with this long-running series: Banks and Cabbot are two of the most distinctive figures in the overcrowded police procedural field.

In Bad Boy, Banks? daughter Tracy ? prone to ill-considered actions -- has found herself bewitched by her flatmate?s boyfriend, whose good looks conceal a dangerous personality. He goes on the run from the police, he drags along the pliable Tracy Banks, and the threatening events that result are bad news for everyone involved ? in particular, the beleaguered policeman who is also a worried parent, Alan Banks.

As aficionados know, with any Peter Robinson novel, the reader can sit back and enjoys a master of the police procedural form, with all the expected elements satisfyingly in place. DCI Banks is shortly to enjoy a television incarnation ? and it?s a safe bet that the filmmakers will struggle to keep things as fresh as Robinson always manages to do. --Barry Forshaw
