Fallen Gods By Quintin Jardine

Back Cover:

Can Britain's sharpest detective draw triumph from tragedy?

The heat is on for DCC Bob Skinner, Scotland's most revered and , in
some circles, most feared cop. His career hangs by a thread, as a
recent illness gives his enemies a weapon to use against him. A body
found in the detritus of a flood is identified as the hated brother
whose existence he has kept hidden for years. On the crime front, an
incendiary device destroys a valuable painting in the Royal Scottish
Academy in Edinburgh. As Skinner and his team tackle these crises, his
wife Sarah, left in America with their children to recover from the
loss of her parents, finds comfort with an old college lover. When
fate leaves her staring at a seemingly inevitable murder conviction,
Bob will need all his fearsome resources to sort out the tangled mess
his life has become.

But is he still up to the challenge...?

Lightning-paced and emotionally charged, FALLEN GODS is Quint in
Jardine at his magnificent best.
