Riassunto

A four-day tournament involving the world's leading golfers is being staged for the opening of a new country club created on his East Lothian estate by the Marquis of Kinture and two partners. But on the Sunday afternoon preceding, one of the partners is found dead in his private Jacuzzi in the clubhouse?with his throat cut. On the following day an anonymous letter is received by the local newspaper, containing part of a legendary witches' curse upon anyone who desecrates their place of worship. True, East Lothian was once a notorious center of witchcraft, but DCC Bob Skinner prefers to deal with the here and now. Is this crime in fact a grudge killing by a business rival?

Descrizione del libro:

The fourth novel in the outstanding Edinburgh crime series featuring Assistant Chief Constable Bob Skinner

L'autore:

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.
