About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
A sweeping debut crime novel about the far-reaching effects of a murder on a community in Glasgow. An epic story of resilience, redemption and love.
Everyone's talking about Janey Devine…
Glasgow, 1979. Towerblock-wean Janey is out for a walk on an abandoned railway with her dog, Sid Vicious, when she finds the body of a woman - and her innocent childhood ends in a shocking moment of trauma.
Janey’s nana, Maggie, is distraught, especially when the corpse turns out to be a local hardman’s lassie. Janey claims she can’t remember what she saw that day, but the police think she’s hiding something, and they’re not the only ones.
Maggie wont rest until she knows Janey is safe, but she’s got secrets of her own, right bad ones too. As fear stalks the community, Janey starts to remember things she shouldn’t. And Maggie can’t help but wonder if the daughter she loves will ever return to her – or if someone will take Janey away forever.
