Synopsis

When Private Enquiry Agent Oz Blackstone opens the door of the flat in Ebeneezer Street, the sight that greets him isn’t quite what he’s looking for.
Diminutive stockbroker Willie Kane – reclining on the bed with a large knife still embedded in him – is clearly no longer in a position to assist Oz in recovering the nine hundred grand he’s stolen and secreted in a numbered Swiss bank account. Nor is Oz going to get any assistance from Willie’s partner in crime, aspiring film actress Dawn Phillips, who seems to have flown the coop.
Oz’s finder’s fee is beginning to look a distant prospect – when in walks Dawn’s blonde, brown-eyed sister, Primavera Phillips. The trouble is, Prim Phillips is the most irresistible woman Oz has ever seen. She also has the key to opening the Swiss account . . .

About Quintin Jardine

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

Goodreads review by Steve Mepham on May 08, 2021

Not for me I'm afraid; Odd style, almost a conversation with the reader which makes the main character seem strangely smug. Whilst "breaking the fourth wall" can work, I didn't feel that is added to the narrative in this case. Each to their own, of course, but for my part I'll stick to the Skinner bo......more
