Autorenporträt
Peter Robinson, geb. 1950 in Yorkshire, lebt in Toronto, Kanada. Er feiert mit seiner Serie um den sympathischen und sehr menschlichen Inspector Alan Banks diesseits und jenseits des Atlantiks große Erfolge und erhielt zahlreiche Preise in den USA, Großbritannien und Europa. Großbritannien besucht er regelmäßig, aber außerhalb zu leben, bringt seiner Meinung nach 'eine sehr sinnvolle Distanz zu Großbritannien'.
