Reviews
Well constructed, fast-paced, Jardine's narrative has many an ingenious twist and turn
Remarkably assured, raw-boned, a tour de force
Praise for Quintin Jardine's previous novels: 'If Ian Rankin is the Robert Carlyle of Scottish crime writers, then Jardine is surely its Sean Connery'
If you're looking for a detective whose personal life is as active, contradictory and complicated as his job then follow the Edinburgh exploits of Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner in Quintin Jardine's Skinner series
A complex and suspenseful saga that never flags from start to finish
Gritty cop drama that makes Taggart look tame
More twists and turns than TV's Taggart at its best
Deplorably readable
Compelling stuff
I love the Bob Skinner novels. Quintin Jardine's slick and suspenseful Edinburgh-set series has never failed to keep me riveted... Starts with a bang and doesn't let up till the last sentence
Very engaging as well as ingenious, and the unraveling of the mystery is excellently done
Another cracker from Jardine... Plenty of twists and turns along the way to keep you engrossed
A Scottish Alex Cross .... Brilliantly written to leave you guessing right up to the end
