The judge suddenly collapses in mortal agony - the victim of an apparent heart attack. But as the wave of brutal robberies continues, it emerges that Lord Archergait's death may have been murder - and he is not the only judge whose life is in danger.

About the Author:
Also available by Quintin Jardine: Autographs in the Rain, Gallery Whispers, Thursday Legends,Skinner's Ghosts, Skinner's Rules, Skinner's Festival, Skinner's Trail, Skinner's Round, Skinner's Ordeal and Skinner's Mission.
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.
