It's not long before Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner gets called back to the frontline. With an estranged son, a dubious assistant and connections in very high places, what is more important to Boras: business or family? There s too much at stake - there s going to be bloodshed - and Skinner's men are at risk of getting caught in the crossfire...

Both series of books by Quintin Jardine are available from Headline, the Bob Skinner novels, and the equally praised but very different, Oz Blackstone series. Quintin Jardine is married with an extended family of four adult kids, and two Tonkinese cats.

When two young female artists are murdered in what appear to be ritualistic killings, the pressure is on to find the highly professional murderer. The arrival of the father of the second victim, millionaire businessman Davor Boras, brings in the Home Office, MI5, the CIA, and the seasoned Detective Chief Constable Bob Skinner. With an estranged son, a dubious assistant, and connections in very high places, it's unclear whether business or family is more important to Boras. The killer may have met his match in the Boras family, and Skinner's men quickly find themselves at risk of getting caught in the crossfire.
