Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks Novels by Peter Robinson
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks is the fictional protagonist in a series of crime novels written by acclaimed writer Peter Robinson. Since 2010 several of the novels have been adapted for television under the series title DCI Banks with Stephen Tompkinson in the lead role.
The first novel related to Banks was published in 1987, and carried the blurb: "After once living in London and working as part of the Metropolitan Police Unsolved Crime Squad, Detective Inspector Alan Banks now lives in the fictional English town of Eastvale which is located in Yorkshire north of Ripon near the A1.[1] He has two children, Tracy and Brian, and a doting wife, Sandra. Since moving to Eastvale, Banks now works as the DCI for Eastvale Police, with his own small office, containing a metal desk and two chairs, with the window looking out onto the town's busy Market Square. Coming from working-class stock, DCI Banks abhors anything to do with money and wealth, a driving force behind his decision to move from London to Eastvale. His big goal was to not get caught up in the materialism of the big city, and by moving away, has managed to raise a respected family in a bucolic setting. DCI Banks also has an unique but good taste in music, and often, his charming demeanor helps him to relate to his suspects, as well as victims of crime. He can come down hard, though, when he needs to get answers quickly. But his main strength - he uses creativity in his interrogations and investigations."
Content
The majority of the first dozen novels published had a focus mostly on crimes investigated by Banks. However the 1999 novel, In A Dry Season, focused largely on his divorce from his wife, Sandra, after their marriage grew apart and their children flew the nest. Later novels had a sub-focus on his romance with DS Annie Cabbot, who makes her first appearance in In A Dry Season, investigating a member of Banks' team who is accused of manslaughter. She later becomes a member of Banks' team, and the pair have had an on-off relationship ever since.
The system will take ZIP files but will not take RAR files. There is a 5 mb. limit on files loaded directly into Times past so unless there are a lot of pictures in the books or illustrations you will be able to upload directly to TP. If they are larger than 5 mb. you will have to upload to your own storage.
The sets aren't complete. There are 15 EPUB novels and 14 or 15 MOBI novels. It's late and everytime I count them I get a different number. Download whichever you want.

Not Safe After Dark, and Other Stories: Peter Robinson’s first collection of short crime fiction to be published in Canada spans his writing career and reveals his impeccable grasp of both mystery and suspense writing. The sixteen stories are set in places as far flung as Inspector Alan Banks’s turf in Yorkshire, Robinson’s own neighbourhood in Toronto, and in Los Angeles and Florida. They also reach back in time: to 1873 to an utopian milltown in northern England in 1873, to Thomas Hardy country in 1939, and to a small Yorkshire town during the Second World War.
The collection also includes a novella, featuring Robinson’s celebrated sleuth Inspector Banks. Going Home is a chilling yet profoundly moving tale of just how hard it can be to visit one’s elderly parents, even for only a few days.
