About this listen

 It's August and the Edinburgh International Book Festival is in full swing. The world of books is focused on Charlotte Square Gardens, so it's a considerable embarrassment when a successful crime writer and key member of the Scottish Parliament is found dead in the author tent. But is it natural causes?

DCC Bob Skinner, on the edge of a career-defining moment, doesn't need this in his life. But the victim's phone was tapped, and a brother officer has a threatening visitor. A second victim begs the question: have the authors become targets themselves?

Skinner is going to have to dig deep to solve it, even as his own world implodes and a famous friendship is shattered for ever...

From the opening death to the final scene this book is riveting. The story switches from Edinburgh to Australia and back again - is there a connection between the death of an author at a book festival and the death of a traveller? At the same time as hunting a murderer, Bob Skinner must also decide if he should put himself forward for promotion. This was the first book in this series that I've listened to - I now plan to rectify that!
