Thursday legends - Quintin Jardine

Every Thursday for twenty-five years the group of friends - several of them policemen - had met up for a fiercely contested game of football.

Now Skinner must trawl through the cases he'd worked on, trying to find a clue as to who might have had a motive for such savagery. But when a second member of the Legends is killed in equally shocking circumstances, Skinner realizes that he's been looking for answers in the wrong place. The truth is much closer to home, and the murderer may not be finished...
