Product Description

Product Description
When private enquiry agent Oz Blackstone takes on the job of finding an insurance company's missing half million, he's hoping for a healthy finder's fee, not a life-changing experience. But when he finds the corpse of the would-be embezzler with a knife in his back and no sign of the missing money, what had seemed like a routine job begins to look distinctly dodgy. Until the captivating Primavera 'Prim' Phillips arrives on the scene, wondering why she's been greeted not by her sister Dawn, but Dawn's dead boyfriend and a rather nervous-looking private eye. For Oz, things are looking up. This is the kind of girl who's definitely worth pursuing. Especially if she knows where to get her hands on half a million pounds ...

About the Author
After an eventful career as a spin doctor to the powerful, rich and notorious, fifteen years ago Quintin Jardine found that his talents were equally well fitted to the world of crime fiction. Now he is the author of seven Oz Blackstone mysteries as well as thirteen Bob Skinner crime novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific start to a great series!, 25 Jan 2005
By Patrick E. Foster (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This light crime caper ably intoduces Oz Blacksone, Jardine's second series character, and to my mind, a more applealing and light-hearted scoundrel than the somewhat dour Bob Skinner. Stumbling on a corpse sends Oz fleeing with the primary suspect's sister, and the clever writing manages to keep things light and entertaining while never failing to keep the tension high. Fans of Lawrence Block's Burglar books will feel right at home here. A great read, heartily endorsed!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK as a holiday read, 6 Jun 2006
A light hearted crime story which has good pace throughout. The characters tend to be drawn in shades of either black or white - no shades of grey, this can become rather tedious. There are some twists in the plot which keep things moving but the final twist doesn't work, it's too out of character, which is a shame.
