Product Description

“Intimate…suspenseful…and satisfying in its resolutions.”

 —Los Angeles Times

“An extremely well-fashioned police procedural.”
New York Times Book Review

Gallows View is the critically acclaimed thriller that first introduced the world to Yorkshire Chief Inspector Alan Banks—and the rest is history. Internationally bestselling author Peter Robinson dazzles with this story of the police hunt for a small-town Peeping Tom, and the fear engendered when his nocturnal escapades appear to turn deadly. Janet Maslin in the New York Times compared Peter Robinson’s novels to “the masculine, brooding work of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, George P. Pelecanos and Jonathan Kellerman,” and Dennis Lehane himself calls them, “chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art.” Visit Gallows View and see what everyone’s raving about.

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

William Faulkner

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.”
