Praise for Quintin Jardine: An intriguing look at golf as big business, combined with Jardine's deft plotting and skilful writing, makes this another winning entry in an outstanding police procedural series
Polished and mystifying... a convincing illustration of Jardine's growing versatility
A complex and suspenseful saga that never flags from start to finish
If Ian Rankin is the Robert Carlyle of Scottish crime writers, then Jardine is surely its Sean Connery
Gritty cop drama that makes Taggart look tame
More twists and turns than TV's Taggart at its best
Deplorably readable
Compelling stuff
