Book Description:
From New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinson comes this mesmerizing storyâwithin-a-storyâthat will thrill his fans and bring him many new readers.
A distraught woman arrives at the Eastvale police station desperate to speak to Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. But Banks is abroad, and the woman's revelation of a loaded gun hidden in her daughter Erin's bedroom leads to a shocking fatality when a police armed-response team breaks into her house. The fallout will have dark consequences for Banks and his partner, DI Annie Cabbot. It turns out that Erin's best friend is Banks' own daughter, Tracy . . . who was last seen in the company of the weapon's actual owner, a very bad boy indeed.
Now that his child is on the run with a psychopath, Banks finds himself caught in a bloody tangle of betrayal and murder. But the rogue DCI is a bit of a bad boy himself, and he'll freely risk his life and career in the cause of loveâand vengeance.
Thrilling, harrowing, and utterly compelling, Bad Boy showcases Peter Robinson's masterful writing.
My Review:
This was a little different than the normal Inspector Banks novel. Banks is on vacation in America and his daughter, Tracey, is in big trouble. Her best friend, Erin, has taken her boyfriend's gun and her mother is seeking help from Inspector Banks but he is in America. Tracy seems to be infatuated with Erin's boyfriend and they are hiding from the police in Bank's house. Annie Cabbot, Banks' partner, tries to rescue Tracy but the boyfriend shoots Annie and this is what Banks is confronted with when he returns from his vacation. At this point, the book is hard to put down as you need to find out how Tracy will get out of this mess. This book shows us that even an Chief Inspector's daughter is open to the evils of the world and makes bad decisions. I always look forward to reading Peter Robinson's book and this one did not disappoint. Can't wait to read the next one. I would highly recommend reading this series in order as the books build upon each other.
