Product Description
Evil stalks the city of Edinburgh. This time the threat is bigger than the crooks, scam-artists or drug dealers who find their prey in the shadows of the streets. Some people are looking for a big-time hit. The body of a respectable businessman is found 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 hometown. The security has to be bulletproof. But there is a chink in the armour. Does Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner have the inner strength to find the answer to the biggest question of all?

Customer Reviews
Fantastic as usual
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.
