About this listen

 Paddy Meehan is trawling the city for a story that will get her off the terrible night shift to which she's been consigned by her male colleagues. And then a woman, bleeding from a vicious head wound, offers her £50 to leave her alone. The very next morning the woman is found dead. Only Paddy cares enough about what's really happened to pursue a dark and brutal truth that could make her career, or kill her.©2006 Denise Mina (P)2007 Isis Publishing Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Detective Fiction

Critic Reviews

"I hope the wonderful Paddy has an investigative career as long as Miss Marple's ahead of her." (Telegraph)
"Mina's detached but unsentimental view of man's inhumanity to man...never flinches, and her deadpan style serves her purpose well." (Guardian)

Absolutely great read

Love the narrator, the story, the characters, the history. I feel like I know these people. I have a sense of what it must have been to live in that place, in that time. Thank you all for this story.
