Mr Jardine has long been a favourite British thriller writer, but now his books are readily available in the North American market. If my count is right this will be the 16th Chief Constable Bob Skinner book and the first one that I have read. It was a great escapist read and I burned through it. It really doesn't get much grimmer than Glasgow in winter, other than maybe Baltimore in winter as portrayed on "The Wire" I have to admitt however that I thought Bob Skinner was a big mouth pain in the ass and his macho questioning of suspects more likely to induce death by boredom than any thing else. Yet Bob has moved with the times and has embraced the new American wisdom of torture. Where will he go from here? I spent half the book laughing. ( ) The last Skinner book was arrant nonsense, but this one is back on form. Following directly after the events of the previous book, this inserts a slight dose of reality into all that silliness. The real strength of these books has always been the breadth oft he cast of characters, rather than just Skinner himself. The whole cast of supporting characters have lives and personalities and grow along with the main characters as the series progresses. It is especially fun to see Proud Jimmy out from behind his desk and investigating a mystery of his own. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

DCC Bob Skinner has a failed marriage on his hands, and a death on his conscience, but little time to deal with either as he faces the biggest challenge of his career within the secret corridors where dark power is wielded. As his hunt develops, he goes to the very top - the Prime Minister - lest he himself becomes collateral damage. Meanwhile, back in Edinburgh, Skinner's daughter is being harassed by a stalker. Can he protect her? A bookmaker has taken one gamble too many and paid his debt in a gruesome fashion. Is it an underworld vendetta, or something more sinister? Alongside it all, a casual call to the Chief Constable sets him on a personal crusade which quickly points to a bigamist at work. Or is it worse? Four crimes, four crises: can Skinner and his people solve them? Indeed, can they survive them? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
