Last year the crime writing
Last year the crime writing world lost one of its very finest: Peter Robinson, author of the bestselling Inspector Banks series. In this special online event, three leading crime writers – Michael Connelly, Louise Penny and Ian Rankin – will pay tribute to Peter’s life and body of work, which spanned over three decades.
The event will be available to view, free of charge, from Thursday 8th June, to mark the publication day of the twenty-eighth and final book in the Banks series, Standing in the Shadows.
Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire and moved to Canada as a young man, later dividing his time between Toronto and Richmond. As well as his much-loved Inspector Banks series, which were set in the Yorkshire Dales, Peter also wrote two collections of short stories and three standalone novels, the most recent of which is the Number One bestseller Before the Poison. His critically acclaimed crime novels have won numerous awards in Britain, the US, Canada and Europe, and are published in translation all over the world. His books were also made into the major ITV drama series DCI Banks. Peter was always a firm favourite at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, appearing at the very first Festival twenty years ago. He died in October 2022 after a short illness.
This event is brought to you by Hodder & Stoughton as part of the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, and is produced by Harrogate International Festivals. #TheakstonsCrime
