Autographs in the Rain (Bob Skinner Mysteries) - Softcover

These hair–trigger thrillers by Quintin Jardine, one of Scotland’s top–selling writers, have been praised for their ingenious plotting and powerful emotional drama. With Edinburgh police chief Robert Skinner at the center of the action, they form a first–class, robustly entertaining series of police procedurals.

Quintin Jardine was born once upon a time in the West - of Scotland rather than America, but still he grew to manhood as a massive Sergio Leone fan. On the way there he was educated, against his will, in Glasgow, where he ditched a token attempt to study law for more interesting careers in journalism, government propaganda, and political spin-doctoring. After a close call with the Brighton Bomb in 1984, he moved into the even riskier world of media relations consultancy, before realising that all along he had been training to become a crime writer. Now, forty novels later, he never looks back.

Along the way he has created/acquired an extended family in Scotland and Spain. Everything he does is for them.
