About this listen

The darkest deeds are hidden from sight....

Bob Skinner is back in the latest gritty mystery in Quintin Jardine's best-selling series, not to be missed by listeners of Ian Rankin and Peter May.

New Year's Day and Edinburgh lies sleeping. But two men will never wake again....

When struggling ex-copper Terry Coats was discovered in bed with an air hostess, his excuse that he was 'going undercover' cut no ice with the force - or his wife. But now he's been brutally killed on Hogmanay night, it seems there may have been more to his plea.

Dragged from the New Year celebrations, Special Constable Sir Bob Skinner is shocked to find Coats' body alongside that of Griff Montell: his erstwhile protégé and former lover of Skinner's own daughter, Alex. Could there be some dark truth under Coats' cock-and-bull story, after all?

As the secrets start unravelling, Skinner realises he has gravely underestimated someone close to him - and the effects will cost him, and those he loves, dear....
