FROM THE AUTHOR OF ALL THE HIDDEN TRUTHS, WHICH WON THE MCILVANNEY
DEBUT PRIZE '(a) meticulous and compelling novel about the
aftermath of a major crime and its effect on the affected families
and investigating officers both. Set in Edinburgh, too' - Ian
Rankin 'Askew asks intricate moral questions, while never ignoring
the rigours of crime' - Daily Mail DI Helen Birch faces a terrible
choice - family or justice? - in the gripping second novel from the
author of All the Hidden Truths DI Birch joined the police to find
her little brother, who walked out of his life one day and was
never seen again. She stayed to help others, determined to seek
justice where she could. On the fourteenth anniversary of Charlie's
disappearance, Birch takes part in a raid on one of Scotland's most
feared criminal organisations. It's a good day's work - a chance to
get a dangerous man off the streets. Two days later, Charlie comes
back. It's not a coincidence. When Birch finds out exactly what
he's been doing all those years, she faces a terrible choice: save
the case, or save her brother. But how can you do the right thing
when all the consequences are bad? As she interrogates Charlie, he
tells his story: of how one wrong turn leads to a world in which
the normal rules no longer apply, and you do what you must to
survive. From one of the most acclaimed new voices in crime
fiction, What You Pay For is a brilliantly tense and moving novel
about the terrible disruption caused by violence and the lines
people will cross to protect those they love.
