An Evening with Peter Robinson will take place online on Thursday, March 18 to launch the best-selling author latest novel, Not Dark Yet.

The English-Canadian crime writer is best known for his crime novels set in Yorkshire featuring Inspector Alan Banks which spawned the hit TV show DCI Banks.

He will joining Harrogate International Festivals from his home in Canada to talk about what will be his 27th Alan Banks novel.

Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire, and now divides his time between Richmond and Canada.

His critically acclaimed DCI Banks novels have won numerous awards in Britain, the United States, Canada and Europe, and are published in translation all over the world.

The first Banks novel was published in 1987 and the successful TV adaptation starring Stephen Tompkinson as Inspector Banks and Andrea Lowe as DI Annie Cabbot first aired on ITV in 2010.

Published by Hodder & Stoughton, Not Dark Yet begins with a gruesome double murder at a Yorkshire property developer’s luxury home which, on the face of it, should be an open and shut case for Superintendent Banks and his team of detectives.

But soon the plot is complicated by Albanian mafia, a cache of spy-cam videos hidden in the house and the rape of a young girl that could cast the murders in an entirely different light.
