Descriere

""A shattering first novel... You can't look away from it.""--New York Times Book Review 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. ""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."" -""Rocky Mountain News""
