Denise Mina

Read the third novel in the Paddy Meehan series, from award-winning author Denise Mina. 
 
‘One of the most original voices in crime fiction’ Daily Mail 
 
Paddy Meehan finally has it all: a flat of her own in Glasgow and a job as one of Scotland’s leading newspaper columnists. Then the police knock on her door. Her former lover Terry has been found in a ditch, shot through the head. 
 
Even though they had split up months before, Terry has left her everything, including a house in Ayrshire and boxes of notebooks. As Paddy digs deeper into his murder, it soon becomes clear that the secret he was about to expose is worth killing for. And that she is next in line.

The Last Breath

Discover the second novel in the pulse-racing Paddy Meehan series, from award-winning author Denise Mina. 
 
‘Mina can chill your blood and break your heart in the same sentence’ Mark Billingham 
 
Journalist Paddy Meehan is called to a domestic dispute in a wealthy Glasgow suburb. The woman bleeding from a head injury doesn’t want any help and the well-dressed man beside her assures Paddy that everything is fine. But when she is given a £50 note to keep quiet, she becomes suspicious. 
 
The next morning, the woman is dead. Paddy has found the story she has been waiting for, yet she will lose all credibility if word gets out about her bribe. To make matters worse, the police who attended the scene are twisting the evidence. Only Paddy cares enough to pursue a dark truth that could make her career – or get her killed. 
 
‘Splendidly written... Magnificently readable’ The Times

But Paddy's investigation has repercussions she never anticipated. Shunned by those closest to her, she finds herself dangerously alone.
