Skinner's Trail - Tapa dura

Life seems to be going well for Assistant Chief Constable Robert Skinner - he's even the proud new father of a baby boy, Jazz. But when underground kingpin Tony Manson is found knifed in a luxury villa, Skinner's life is turned upside-down. It seems that Manson's popular chain of laundromats was the perfect front for distributing illegal narcotics. But with Manson dead, and thousands of dollars missing from his bank account, Constable Skinner is forced to submerge himself in a world of theft, drugs, and prostitution. He soon learns that the truth is far more complex than he'd expected - and that the killer is far from finished...
Skinner's Trail is a terrifically taut police procedural - intense, riveting, and relentlessly suspenseful. Racing from Scotland to northern Spain, then back to a chilling climax in Edinburgh, this complex thriller follows a tortuous and blood-soaked trail of vice, corruption, and murder.
