Past Reason Hated won the Crime Writers of Canada's Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel, and Wednesday's Child received an Edgar nomination for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America. Not Safe after Dark contains all of Peter Robinson's short crime tales, including three stories about Inspector Banks, a private-eye story set in Florida, and other stories of crime and mystery. It is not surprising that the title story is an exercise in noir suspense, as is the modern classic "Innocence," which won Crime Writer of Canada's Best Short Story Award. This book also contains two crime/detective stories set in the past, including one written especially for this collection. Whether he writes pure detective stories or heartbreakingly noir tales, Peter Robinson is a thoughtful writer who is one of the mystery world's finest stylists.. Signed by Author. Limited Edition.
