Hang These Bastards Now! The headline of one now-ownerless Tory tabloid - the bastards in question being the 4 men who'd allegedly committed 4 murders in the course of a burglary. Along with his wife and 2 bodyguards, Roland Voss, the tabloid owner and millionaire media mogul, has had a country weekend in Perthshire cut short by a cut throat. Suggestions that Voss might have been whacked on purpose pique investigative journalist Jack Parlabane's nose for a conspiracy. And he's not the only one who thinks the accused might be innocent... Fiendishly constructed, with dialogue as sharp as the plotting, Country of the Blind brilliantly reveals a world of danger and deceit, murder and betrayal, where defence is not a legal game but a fight for your life. A world that Jack Parlabane knows well.
