Skinner’s Rules (Bob Skinner 1)
What you need to know before your trail
As head of Edinburgh’s CID, Bob Skinner has seen it all—but even he is shocked by the mutilated corpse discovered in a dark alleyway. The motive for the brutal murder remains a mystery, until an elaborate smokescreen emerges which shrouds an intricate conspiracy.
Travel Guide
Edinburgh
“As a city, Edinburgh is a two – face bitch
There is the face on the picture postcards, sunny, bright and shining, prosperous and smiling at the world like a toothpaste ad.
But on the other side of the looking glass lies the other face: the real world where all too often the wind blows cold, the rain lashes down and the poverty shows on the outside. That cold hard face was showing as Bob Skinner made his way to work”
Advocates Close
“A tiny gateway unnoticed every day by hundreds of passer-by, led into tone of the many alleyways which flow from the ancient Royal Mile, down to Cockburn Street, to the Mound, and to Cowgate”
St Giles Cathedral
“Skinner stands in Advocates Close, the disapproving bulk of St Giles Cathedral, the High Kirk of Edinburgh, looming behind him”
