"The Fourth Man" (Jack Reacher, #23.5) - by Lee Child

A short story. Short and to the point. A fast and satisfying read.  

"Like A Virgin" by Peter Robinson

"Like a Virgin" is a novella included in a book of short stories. It relates to an case early in Bank's career when he was still in London, I find the interviews with both victims and aggressors, shorter and smoother, compared with the last books. As usual he seems to spend half of his time on the job and the other half in a pub. The story gives insight into his way of life at that time and reasons for the move north. Like a lot of books and movies, there is a broad hint of who an upcoming victim will be. Although there are a lot of bodies being tossed about, in the end, justice is served. And to top it of, the book was a good collection of stories. 

"The Price of Love" by Peter Robinson

This is a good selection of short stories and a novella. They are not all Alan Banks stories, but a wide variety of other reads. Most enjoyable.
