Dead and Buried

Murder is rarely cut and dried, motive and means, cause and effect. Usually it follows its own twisted logic...Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner has a failed marriage on his hands, a death on his conscience, and little time to deal with either. He's facing the biggest challenge of his career--within the secret corridors where dark power is wielded. So he goes to the very top--the Prime Minister--lest he himself becomes collateral damage. Back in Edinburgh, Skinner's daughter is being harassed by a stalker. Can he protect her? A bookmaker has taken one gamble too many and paid his debt in a gruesome fashion. Is it an underworld vendetta, or something more sinister? And a casual call sets Skinner on a personal mission that quickly points to a bigamist at work. Or is it worse? Four crimes, four crises: can Skinner and his people solve them? Indeed, can they survive them?
