Skinner's Ghost

By Quintin Jardine

Book Overview

Skinner faces the greatest, most personal tests of his career in this gripping crime thriller. Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner could be forgiven for thinking not only that someone up there doesn't like him, but that someone down here is out to get him. Suffering the strain of a marriage on the rocks, the last thing he needs is for his private life to be plastered across the front pages of a sleazy tabloid. To make matters worse, two brutal murders and new allegations about Skinner himself make simultaneous headlines. Unless he can clear his name and uncover the secret behind the series of brutal crimes, he stands to lose everything: his family, his career and even his life and liberty.

Customer Reviews

Great book in a great series!

DCC Robert Morgan Skinner finds himself in the middle of a comprehensive plot against him when a personal friend is brutally raped and murdered while her son is kidnapped. This is just the beginning of a series of destructive events put in place by someone to destroy Skinner. Skinner is vulnerable at this point, separated from his wife Sarah. While she and his son are in USA, he has a relationship with another woman. This relatonship is just one of many mistakes Skinner makes during the hard times. This book more than any of the others in the Skinner series exhibits flaws in the super hero DCC, and it is a great read.
