Description

A woman's naked body is found washed up on Cramond Island near Edinburgh. She has been mutilated by a ship's propeller, but there is no doubt that she was a murder victim. Days later detectives are called to a flat in Edinburgh. The kitchen is covered in blood, and the occupier is missing. The dead female's name is revealed and it stirs old, unwelcome memories for those who knew her, Skinner most of all. Inquiries soon reveal demons in his past, and suggest that they may have overcome him. But Skinner, now Chief Constable of Strathclyde, is based in Glasgow, and has no reason to become involved. Yet he does, unwittingly setting a course that will lead him to the toughest choice of his life. Twists and turns evolve and soon Skinner is in the depth of a personal nightmare, career-threatening and life-changing.

About the Author

Quintin 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.
