    The Alpha Lion Sits Back As The Cubs Go After The Prey.
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2021*

This is the finale of a trilogy featuring Alan Banks against East European gangsters. It relies on the author skillfully slipping enough information into this book to remind the reader of the storyline of the preceding two. He succeeds magnificently. The reader might struggle to understand this if read as a stand alone novel. No problem; read Banks 25 and 26 first - they are great books in their own rights and you will gain from the steady application of complexity, tension and great story telling.This is rather a clever and ambitious book in that there is no fresh crime; the two murders took place in the previous novel, Many Rivers To Cross; and one other serious crime is discovered in Not Dark Yet. But it is far more than a mere tidying up of the loose ends. The three crimes are complex and the denouement satisfying. Writing well enough to sustain the reader's attention in a storyline stretching across three novels must be incredibly difficult, but this author pulls it off with laurels.Mr Robinson features Banks' team mates, Annie and Gerry more prominently, and it is they who solve the crimes. Indeed, Banks is more of a bit player than I recall him ever being before.; and there are little hints at his retirement.The East European femme fatale, Zelda, who is a central thread in the trilogy, is a much more rounded and convincing character in the finale. Her story appears to end here along with her partner's, with plenty of absorbing detail. A lesser, ordinary writer would have failed at this and turned her into a second class Laura Croft. Mr Robinson makes no such mistakeAnything to niggle us pedants? The device people under duress are put through is a wringer, not a ringer!Great book - his best to date.

    Great, as ever
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2021*

My only complaint is that I read this so quickly and thus have another long wait for the next. I have always enjoyed this series and found the latest another good read. The characters, the settings and the style are familiar, a few hours away from our current reality and all the better for that. I was initially unsure about the Zelda storyline but as the book progressed, I found myself very much caught up in it and stayed up way too late to finish it, then was sorry  I had done so, simply because it meant no more Banks for some time.After a long break between the previous book and this, I had forgotten that PR’s writing can be quite basic in its descriptions and initially found myself somewhat critical of telling, not showing; too many  unnecessarily basic accounts of what Banks thought; this could have been more elegantly achieved through discourse. Generally, I see PR as a more skilled and able writer than this might indicate. I became very caught up in the story and perhaps because of this,  overlooked/adapted to that shortcoming. Perhaps I will look back at earlier books, to see if all have been like this. I appreciate brief glimpses into either PR’s or Alan Banks’ politics, not sure whose. I am sure some will disapprove, but, Covid aside, it is supposedly set in the real world and people do have views. I wondered how Banks would manage the moral dilemmas of Zelda’s actions and was interested in their resolution. It made me wonder how many more of this series there will be; as a fan, one part of me hopes for many but there is also the law of diminishing returns in long running series and I’d hate to see this one go the way of worn out tropes. My last reading of James Lee Burke was an object lesson in what not to do. I hope PR is too aware of the pitfalls for that to happen.Next time, I am  awaiting the return of the lovely Winsome; her maternity leave has been very long!
