Can you fight evil with evil . . .?
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, a front-page splash that will run and run, disfiguring countless lives for ever.
It starts small, like the loop of a noose. 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 home town. With the whole world watching, the security has to be bulletproof. But is there a chink in the armour and does DCC Bob Skinner have the inner strength to find the answer to the biggest question of all?
Quintin Jardine's thrilling new novel takes you deep into the heart of an organised criminal underworld and deep into the troubled conscience of our law enforcers.
