New York: Macmillan, 1955. dj. Hardcover first edition - Bentley, a native of Halifax, has written many novels with a background set in the West Riding of Yorkshire. "Of her stories 'The House of Morey' is perhaps best known, and in the same blunt, homely, Yorkshire tradition comes [this novel]. So intimately written that it appears to be an autobiography, it tells the story of Christopher Jarmayne, a delicate, sensitive lad who suffers a great deal from continued friction with the robust Yorkshire family into which he was born. Filled with self-pity and resentment, he spends an unhappy life until he realizes, in a moment of illumination, that he is as tiresome to them as they are to him. In the light of this revelation he tells the strange and poignant story of his life and, with the wisdom gained from experience, he makes it a dramatic and fascinating story of unusual power." 241 pp. Dust jacket illustration by Don Sibley.

New York: Morrow (imprint of Harper Collins), (2020) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The 26th novel in this award-winning police procedural series, set in Yorkshire, where the author grew up. "A skinny young boy is found dead - his body carelessly stuffed into wheelie bin. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team are called to investigate. Who is the boy, and where did he come from? As the local press seize upon an illegal immigrant angle, and the national media the story of another stabbing, the police are called to investigate a less newsworthy death: a middle-aged heroin addict found dead of an overdose in another estate, scheduled for redevelopment. Banks finds the threads of each case seem to be connected to the other, and to the dark side of organised crime in Eastvale." SIGNED by Robinson on a special preliminary page. 327 pp. ISBN: 978-0062847492.
