Is a killer still on the loose?

The thirtieth gritty mystery in Quintin Jardine s bestselling Bob Skinner series, not to be missed by readers of Ian Rankin and Peter May. Praise for Jardine s gripping mysteries: Well constructed, fast-paced, Jardine s narrative has many an ingenious twist and turn Observer

When a murder investigation that s been closed for thirty years is suddenly re-opened, former Chief Constable Bob Skinner is quickly drawn into the action.

The story of the Body in the Quarry was well-known around Edinburgh all those years ago: a popular priest found dead in a frozen quarry; a suspect with a clear motive charged; a guilty verdict. But with a journalist uncovering new evidence, the cold case has come back to haunt Skinner s old mentor Jimmy Proud - and only one man can help him.

Skinner is long out of the police force, but he can t say no. With the clock ticking, and his friend s reputation at stake, he must uncover the truth to find out if an innocent man was convicted for murder. And if a killer is still on the loose . . .

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.
