Episode 6: Remembering crime writer Peter Robinson

Crime writer and Leeds alumnus Peter Robinson is one of the University's most well-known former students. The Leeds-born novelist's DCI Banks series has sold nine million copies worldwide, and been translated into multiple languages. Peter died last year after a short illness, but his legacy at the University continues in the literary archive he gifted to the University, and the annual scholarship that bears his name. On the day of the publication of his final novel, we speak to some of Peter's closest colleagues about the crime writer who helped define a genre.
