Maureen O'Donnell wakes up one morning to find her therapist
boyfriend murdered in the middle of her living room and herself a
prime suspect in a murder case. Desperate to clear her name and to
get at the truth, Maureen traces rumors about a similar murder at a
local psychiatric hospital, uncovering a trail of deception and
repressed scandal that could exonerate her - or make her the next
victim. A shattering first novel... You can't look away from
it.-New York Times Book Review I can't think of a more interesting
- and less likely - crime hero than Maureen O'Donnell, the damaged
but determined center of Denise Mina's marvelous debut mystery. . .
. The book bristles with angry energy and the spare urban poetry of
its unique language. -Chicago Tribune A groundbreaking book . . .
its emotional rawness and visceral honesty pack a punch more potent
than any boxer-turned-PI could provide.-Washington Post Book World
This raw, powerful story is an exceptional debut. -Kansas City Star
A compelling story. . . . This is the reason we read mysteries.
