Synopsis

When Oz Blackstone is offered a major rôle in a cop movie shooting in Edinburgh, he cannot resist. The self-professed “luckiest man on the planet” sees himself heading for stardom and wealth, but his marriage to Primavera is on the rocks. On the other hand, a brief encounter with the beautiful, self-possessed Susie Gantry is turning into something more long term.
Life looks like a bowl of cherries until ex-lover Alison Goodchild turns up asking for a favour. It’s the least Oz can do for an old flame, but when he finds Alison’s business partner murdered in her flat, he can’t help but feel he’s been set up. And when he discovers a trail of intrigue leading to the movie cast, those cherries begin to taste very sour indeed.

About Quintin Jardine

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.He can be tracked down through his blog: http://quintinjardine.me
