The latest Bob Skinner mystery from the legendary Quintin Jardine.
Praise for Quintin Jardine:'Scottish crime-writing at its finest, with a healthy dose of plot twists and turns, bodies and plenty of brutality' THE SUN'Well constructed, fast-paced, Jardine's narrative has many an ingenious twist and turn' OBSERVER'The legendary Quintin Jardine . . . such a fine writer' DENZIL MEYRICK'Scottish crime-writing at its finest' THE SUNQuintin Jardine was born once upon a time in the West - of Scotland rather than America, but still he grew to manhood as a massive Sergio Leone fan. On the way there he was educated, against his will, in Glasgow, where he ditched a token attempt to study law for more interesting careers in journalism, government propaganda, and political spin-doctoring. After a close call with the Brighton Bomb in 1984, he moved into the even riskier world of media relations consultancy, before realising that all along he had been training to become a crime writer. Now, forty novels later, he never looks back.
Along the way he has created/acquired an extended family in Scotland and Spain. Everything he does is for them.He can be tracked down through his blog: http://quintinjardine.me
