From the New York Times bestselling author of Sleeping in the Ground comes this brilliantly nuanced short story collection of twenty stories -- most never before published in the US, and one of them an Edgar winner -- which also features three Inspector Banks tales.

Peter Robinson pens thrilling tales rich with keen observations, pitch perfect dialogue, and shocking plot twists that have fascinated readers all over the world and made him one of the greatest suspense novelists alive. His acclaimed novels featuring Detective Inspector Alan Banks rank among the most celebrated police procedural series in modern fiction. In Not Safe After Dark and Other Stories, Robinson showcases once again his extraordinary talents with a collection of twenty stories, including three featuring Inspector Banks.

In "Going Back", Inspector Banks' trip to celebrate his parents' Golden Anniversary reveals how evil can wear many disguises. In the Edgar Award-winning "Missing in Action", the disappearance of a young boy in the early days of WWII sparks a mob mentality with chilling results. "Innocence" captures the desperate plight of a man trapped by a set of coincidences that derail his life and lead him down a path he was destined to travel. The title story, Not Safe After Dark, is an exhilarating tale with a sudden conclusion that will leave readers' hearts pounding.

Not Safe After Dark and Other Stories deftly explores the darkest edges of humanity in which everyday people must commit desperate acts as they face fear, temptation, and impulses too irresistible to control.
