About this listen

Every August thousands of tourists and performers flood into Edinburgh for its famous festival. But this year, on the very first day, an explosion rocks Princes Street, and a man is killed. A few hours later, a threatening letter is delivered to the Secretary of State – apparently from a freedom group – demanding political separation from England. Assistant Chief Constable Bob Skinner, head of CID, quickly assembles his team, with SAS backup.

Yet, despite a huge security check, the escalating situation claims its second victim. Skinner begins to suspect that this is no ordinary group of bloodthristy fanatics, but skilled professionals with access to highly sophisticated weapons; a trained task force with an agenda that now threatens the ancient honour of Scotland…

This is the second Bob Skinner book I have had the great pleasure of reading. Only one criticism a police officer advising the SAS on building entry tactics? Never in a million years!

Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and found it gripping I don't much like Bob Skinner, for some unknown reason. This doesn't make me want to read more in the series.

Well read gripping story.
