2000s: In a shallow grave in Edinburgh, there is more than a dead body buried there..
Funeral Note (Bob Skinner 22)
What you need to know before your trail
After a tip-off, a man’s body is exhumed from a shallow grave in Edinburgh. Murder surely, yet he died from natural causes, so, case closed? Indeed was there ever a case? But Chief Constable Skinner and his people keep on digging. Who was the man, why was he buried so reverentially, and by whom?
Meanwhile corruption is discovered within the force, and an investigation launched. Immersed in crises, his marriage heading for the rocks, Skinner finds his very career hanging in the balance, its fate beyond his control.
Travel Guide
Edinburgh to Glasgow
This is the novel where Bob Skinner has made the move from his city of Edinburgh to Glasgow. And the move is not going easy
“What the devil am I doing here?
“That’s what I ask myself sometimes, when I think of the world I left, Of course Edinburgh has its attractions. It’s a much gentler city than London and the pace of life is so much easier. From the job point of view, there’s less serious crime, the body count is lower and I never feel that I’;m taking my life in my hands when I go to work of a morning”
But the city is not without its problems – there are two criminal haystacks in the city where they look for Varley in the airport and Waverley station in and around the taxi companies who operate here.
Glasgow
The main investigation involves a very iconic building in the city centre – that of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and the government ministers who attend it.
