DANGEROUS PURSUITS: The Deluxe Edition. Enjoy the first title in Quintin Jardine’s Oz Blackstone series – BLACKSTONE’S PURSUITS – plus the brand-new Author’s Cut, updated with new material, exclusive to ebook.
When private enquiry agent Oz Blackstone takes on the job of finding an insurance company’s missing half million, he’s hoping for a healthy finder’s fee, not a life-changing experience.

For Oz, things are looking up. This is the kind of girl who’s definitely worth pursuing. Especially if she knows where to get her hands on half a million pounds…
