With each match the players are a little older, a little slower, but as fiercely competitive as a gang of teenagers. Until the savagely mutilated body of a former player is found, and suddenly the Thursday Legends have more to worry about than aching backs and dodgy knees. Former Head of Special Branch Alec Smith made plenty of enemies during his long career - and there is no shortage of suspects. But as Skinner's investigation gathers pace, everything keeps pointing to the Legends themselves. Is someone targeting this disparate group of colleagues and friends in some bizarre scheme of retribution? Or is the murderer one of them? Either way, the hunt for the killer is going to come uncomfortably close to home...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying about \u003ci\u003eThursday Legends\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'\u003cb\u003eSuperb\u003c\/b\u003e plotting, \u003cb\u003eexcellent, believable three-dimensional characterisation\u003c\/b\u003e and a detective who's just \u003cb\u003etougher\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003escarier\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003emore ingenious\u003c\/b\u003e than the rest - and a flawed family man to boot'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'From the first page till the last it is \u003cb\u003ea very hard book to put down\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'\u003cb\u003eFive stars\u003c\/b\u003e'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headline Book Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107006365936,"sku":"9780755353637","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780755353637_p0.jpg?v=1763640886","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780755353637","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
