Riassunto

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.

Recensione:

It's neither the setting nor even the characters that makes Robinson's work so satisfying, but the plottning of Swiss-watch precision (Independent)

Superbly cinematic from the beginning to the explosive finale, this would be a thrilling movie (Joesph Wambaugh)

Riveting (The Times)

'Riveting' (The Times)

Brilliant! . . . Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wrenching portraits of the characters who populate his world, not to mention the top-notch police procedure (Jeffery Deaver)

Robinson writes with gusto . . . his tale cracks along at a satisfying lick, with splashes of dark humour along the way. (Metro)

'Plotting of a Swiss-watch precision. We are treated to a master class in the organisation of narrative.' (Independent)

'Brilliant! . . . Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wrenching portraits of the characters who populate his world, not to mention the top-notch police procedure. This one will stay with you for a long time.' (Jeffery Deaver)

Robinson writes solid, tense, police procedurals that depend on good plots, accuracy and the genuine likeability of the central character, Alan Banks. I would highly recommend BAD BOY. (www.eurocrime.co.uk)

'Excellent . . . Robinson deftly integrates Banks's personal life with an acute look at British attitudes about police, guns, and violence in this strong entry in a superb series.' (Publishers Weekly starred review)
