Book description
Oz and Primavera face their toughest case yet when a body turns up in
their own backyard, in this thrilling novel in the acclaimed series from
bestselling author Quintin Jardine. Returning to L'Escala, the idyllic
Spanish village where they were once so happy, Oz Blackstone and
Primavera Phillips are looking to forget the past. But old ghosts are
not so easy to placate, and the shadow of Oz's childhood sweetheart Jan,
now tragically dead, is threatening to turn their relationship into a
seething cauldron of recrimination. Until a body turns up face down in
the swimming pool of their new villa, and suddenly they are very much
back in the harness again. Faced with the indifference of the local
police, Oz and Prim are forced to investigate the murder themselves, and
soon they begin to uncover a nest of vipers beneath L'Escala's sunny
exterior... Quintin Jardine gave up the life of a political spin
doctor for the more morally acceptable world of murder and mayhem.
Happily married, he splits his time between Scotland and Spain. He's in
the phone book in both locations, but can also be tracked down through
his website www. quintinjardine. com
