About Quintin Jardine

Quintin Jardine was born once upon a time in the West - of Scotland rather than America but still he grew to manhood as a massive Sergio Leone fan. On the way there he was educated against his will in Glasgow where he ditched a token attempt to study law for more interesting careers in journalism government propaganda and political spin-doctoring. After a close call with the Brighton Bomb in 1984 he moved into the even riskier world of media relations consultancy before realising that all along he had been training to become a crime writer. Now forty novels later he never looks back. Along the way he has created/acquired an extended family in Scotland and Spain. Everything he does is for them. He can be tracked down through his blog: http://quintinjardine.me
