The 20th in the DCI Banks series, Bad Boy is arguably not Robinson’s best and certainly not one to start with if you’re not a pre-existing fan of the series. Absent for much of the novel, it lacks Banks narrative and instead his partner DI Anne Cabbot and his daughter Tracy are thrust into the spotlight. The interesting turn of events and untraditional story should be enough to keep his die-hard fans reasonably happy.
