An Interview With: Peter Robinson
Launching his new DCI Banks book: Not Dark Yet
The number one bestselling crime writer, Peter Robinson, joins Harrogate International Festivals, and host: journalist York Membery, from his home in Canada to launch the 27th Alan Banks novel, Not Dark Yet.

Her search takes her back to the orphanage where it all began – but by stirring up the murky waters of the past, Zelda is putting herself in greater danger than any she’s seen before.
And as the threat to Zelda escalates, so does the danger for Banks and those who love her…
