Product Description

August in Edinburgh: As Skinner stands on the edge of a career-defining moment and his fiancĂ©e—Scotland's First Minister Aileen de Marco—faces a political crisis, one of Scotland's most successful crime writers is found dead at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. As the mystery deepens, Skinner finds himself crossing swords with an old enemy from the past, while his investigating detectives are faced with the unwelcome complication of a duke’s junkie daughter. Meanwhile a second Scottish celebrity dies violently in Australia. It seems impossible, but could the two be connected? As DCS Mario McGuire heads to Melbourne to investigate, back in Scotland his boss’s big moment is compromised in the most dramatic and unexpected manner, as a famous friendship is shattered for ever.

    Quintin Jardine has given us a fine series of books centering on Bob Skinner, but the last two entries make me worry that he's taking the James Patterson approach to selling books to heart and shortchanging the reader at the same time. When a 438-page book has 87 chapters, most between 2 and 5 well-leaded pages long, I smell a rat as I'm jolted from one plot line to another with barely a chance to savor the character and event. Perhaps I'm being unfair; I'm certainly in favor of selling lots of books. But I hate to see Jardine compromise himself in this way. I gave up on Patterson quite some time ago. I'd hate to put Jardine in the same pile. Can you swing the pendulum back, Mr. Jardine?
