OUR STORE IS CLOSED ON ANZAC DAY: THURSDAY 25 APRIL
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
Praise for Quintin Jardine: 'If Ian Rankin is the Robert Carlyle of Scottish crime writers, then Jardine is surely its Sean Connery' - Glasgow Herald Very engaging as well as ingenious, and the unraveling of the mystery is excellently done - Scotsman Well constructed, fast-paced, Jardine's narrative has many an ingenious twist and turn - Observer Remarkably assured, raw-boned, a tour de force - New York Times
