Thriller Crime
Paddy Meehan returns in Denise Mina's most powerful mystery
yet, nominated for a 2007 Edgar Award When journalist Paddy Meehan investigates a domestic
dispute, the well-dressed man who answers the door assures
her the blonde in the shadows behind him is fine, and slips
her money before he closes the door. In fact, the woman was
tortured and left to die later that night, and Paddy has
only days to uncover the truth before the newspaper learns
of her bribe and the police close the case for reasons of
their own. Only Paddy cares enough to pursue a dark and
brutal story that could make her career-or kill her, in a
novel that proves why Denise Mina is "some kind of
magnificent" (Wall Street Journal). "Brutally funny." -People "Mina again demonstrates why she is one of the best mystery
writers on either side of the Atlantic." -Miami Herald "In all her insecurity, Paddy is achingly real . . . and
Mina's note-perfect writing captures Paddy's voice dead-
on." -Boston Globe "A gloriously visceral style. . . . Mina excels at
narrative and social commentary." -Newsday
