Synopsis

Newly married to his childhood sweetheart and happily settled in Glasgow, private enquiry agent Oz Blackstone is looking for some excitement. And when he’s introduced to the seven-foot, granite muscled figure of Everett Davis, champion wrestler and head for the Global Wrestling Alliance, he knows he’s found it.
The GWA’s televised tour of Europe has been dogged by inexplicable technical hitches and terrifying accidents in the ring. Under the inspired disguise of Master of Ceremonies, Oz enters the extraordinary world of professional wrestling to investigate.
But as he begins to discover the dangerous reality behind the glittering façade, a string of accidents becomes murder, and Oz has to wrestle with the biggest crisis of his life.

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
