Product Description

Product Description

If everything you believe in is being threatened by forces beyond your control, would you pull the trigger of a gun? A small-time crook stumbles upon a body hanging from a tree; a veteran from a Belgian marching band is killed in a hit and run incident, and another dies of an apparent heart attack. Excitement on the streets of Edinburgh is feverish as the city prepares for a huge rally to celebrate the return of Pope John, the 25th, to his home town. With the whole world watching, the security has to be bullet proof. But, is there a chink in the armour, and does Bob Skinner have the inner strength to find the answer to the biggest question of all?


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 Fantastic as usual, 15 Jul 2004
Quentin Jardines Skinner stories captivate you; the storyline "weaves into a tapestry" as Skinner says about the seemingly different cases to a colleague, It all comes together at the end from the new Pope visiting Edinburgh to the death of two drummers. It is a book that you will read and say to your significant other "will just read to the end of the chapter" - never happens, you will want to read on. Buy this book! if you haven't read about DCC Skinner before - Buy them 1st. The 1st novels in the series concentrate on skinner but the later delve more and more into the lives of people around him, you feel for the characters when something tragic happen, but you will laugh, or feel happy when something good happens. Jardines character analysis is impeccable, you get drawn into their lives.
