When DI Annie Cabbot’s investigation leads to another shattering discovery, DCI Alan Banks is called in. Banks soon finds himself plunged into a shadow-world where nothing is as it seems and murder is seen as a solution to a problem. But the deeper he digs, the more he fears the threat could extend to his own family and friends.
This case is far from closed – and Banks will risk everything to get to the truth.

Praise for Piece of My Heart and Friend of the Devil
'Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league . . . PIECE OF MY HEART brilliantly interweaves past and present, providing two strands of tension for the price of one, and further enhancing Alan Banks's reputation as one of crime fiction's most appealing cops.'
Peter Robinson is good at producing ingenious mysteries, and this one does not disappoint
A police procedural that grips like pliers
First class crime complete with a lot of emotional intrigue
The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are, simply put, the best series on the market
Banks is one of the most fully-drawn figures in this genre of fiction
Brilliant!
First class crime complete with a lot of emotional intrigue
