The nation's sharpest cop, DCC Bob Skinner, desperately wants to stop a serial killer...

When two young female artists are murdered in what looks like ritualistic killings, the pressure is on to find a highly professional murderer. What is the link with the art world? Is the killer a disgruntled art critic? A twice-jilted lover?

The arrival of the father of one of the victims, millionaire businessman Davor Boras, brings in the big guns of the Home Office, MI5, and the CIA. It's not long before Deputy Chief Constable Bob Skinner gets called back to the frontline. With an estranged son, a dubious assistant, and connections in very high places, what is more important to Boras: business or family?

There's too much at stake - there’s going to be bloodshed - and Skinner's men are at risk of getting caught in the crossfire...

Death's Door by Quintin Jardine is an intricate thriller with twists and turns that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.
