Formerly a journalist and an advisor in the Government Information Service, Quintin Jardine is now an independent public relations consultant as well as a highly successful crime-writer. He is best known for his series of books based around Edinburgh on the cases of Chief Superintendent - later Deputy Chief Constable - Bob Skinner.
Gallery Whispers is the eighth book in the mystery series about Edinburgh's Deputy Chief Constable, Robert Skinner. The book opens with an apparent suicide of a divorced woman living in a hamlet near Edinburgh. She was terminally ill and could not face a slow and painful death. However it becomes clear that the woman had help. Suspicion falls first on her lover then her ex-husband, to whom she is still close. But when an almost identical death occurs, Skinner's team realise that they have something else on their hands.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Chief Constable has a separate problem. A major
international economic conference is scheduled for Edinburgh, involving world heads of government.
Intelligence sources believe that a notorious international assassin may be
heading for Scotland. Skinner is given the job of finding and eliminating him.
Against this background, Skinner faces three major personal issues.
