Alex Morrow is not new to the police force-or to crime-but
there is nothing familiar about the call she has just
received. On a still night in a quiet suburb of Glasgow,
Scotland, three armed men have slipped from a van into a
house, demanding a man who is not, and has never been,
inside the front door. In the confusion that ensues, one
family member is shot and another kidnapped, the assailants
demanding an impossible ransom. Is this the amateur crime
gone horribly wrong that it seems, or something much more
unexpected? As Alex falls further into the most challenging
case of her career, Denise Mina proves why "if you don't
read crime novels, Mina is your reason to change"
(RockyMountain News).
