Returning to L'Escala, the idyllic Spanish village where they were once so happy, Oz Blackstone and Primavera Phillips are looking to forget the past, but old ghosts are not so easy to placate, and the shade of Oz's childhood sweetheart Jan, now tragically dead, is threatening to turn their relationship into a seething cauldron of recrimination. Until a body turns up face down in the swimming pool of their new villa, and suddenly they are very much back in harness again. Faced with the indifference of the local police, Oz and Prim are forced to investigate themselves...
'Jardine manages to combine the picturesque with the thrilling and the dream-like with the coldly rational' The Times
'This book will have you guessing until the last and will throw up more surprises than a good magician' South Wales Evening Post'Jardine's plot is very cleverly constructed, every incident and every character has a justified place in the labyrinth of motives, and the final series of revelations follows logically from a surreptitious but well-placed series of clues.'

Later he moved into political PR and is now an independent public relations consultant.
