Dead Girl Walking is the latest thrilling novel from one of
Scotland's most treasured crime writers, as well known in his
native country as Val McDermid, Ian Rankin, and Denise Mina.
Christopher Brookmyre's books have sold over one and a half million
copies worldwide, and in Dead Girl Walking, he has written his most
addictive thriller yet--a gripping story of sex, drugs, rock 'n'
roll, and murder. Life is dangerous when you have everything to
lose. Famous, beautiful, and talented, Heike Gunn has the world at
her feet. Then, one day, she simply vanishes. Meanwhile, maverick
Scottish journalist Jack Parlabane has lost everything. Once highly
regarded for his tireless investigation of even the most unpleasant
of Glasgow's gangsters, his involvement in a scandal involving a
lost government laptop has cost him his career, his wife, and his
self-respect. A call from an old friend offers Parlabane a chance
for redemption--but only if he can find out what happened to Heike,
the lead singer of the internationally renowned folk rock band
Savage Earth Heart. Pursued by those who would punish him for past
crimes, Parlabane enters the secret-filled world of Savage Earth
Heart, a group at its breaking point. Each of its members seems to
be hiding something, not least its newest recruit Monica Halcrow,
whose speculated relationship with Heike has become a public
obsession. Monica's own story, however, reveals a far darker truth.
Fixated on Heike from day one, she has been engulfed by paranoia,
jealousy, and fear as she discovers the hidden price of fame. And
she may not be the only one suffering. From Berlin to Barcelona,
from the streets of Milan to remote Scottish islands, Dead Girl
Walking is a whirlwind tour of the dark side of the music industry
from one of Britain's masters of crime writing.
