Dal risvolto di copertina interno
Paddy Meehan, Glasgow's youngest aspiring journalist, cruises the dark city on a perpetual night shift, chasing police calls for a story to promote her out of a twilight existence that makes Mars bars and coffee a medical necessity. With her father and brothers unemployed, and her upright Roman Catholic family perilously short of money, she needs the work.
The domestic dispute at a house in a wealthy suburb seems like nothing unusual - at first. The blonde in the shadows bleeding from a head injury doesn't want any help; and the well-dressed man at the front door tells Paddy everything's fine, and that she should leave.
And then he slips her a crisp £50 note to keep the story out of the paper.
By the next morning the woman is dead; she's been tortured first, beaten, and left to die.The untraceable man was neither her boyfriend nor her husband, and Paddy can't understand why the woman passed up the chance to walk through the door and live.
Paddy's found the story she's dreamed about, but she'll lose all credibility if the word gets out about her bribe. The police who attended the call are twisting the evidence for reasons of their own. Only Paddy cares enough to pursue a dark and brutal truth that could make her career - or kill her.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Light edge wear.; A bright, solid book, DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped.; Paddy Meehan series #2; 1.42 x 9.21 x 6.3 Inches; 344 pages; The second novel in the wonderful Paddy Meehan series by Scotlandâs princess of crime. Paddy Meehan, Glasgowâs aspiring journalist is back on the beat, trawling the streets of Glasgow for a story â" something to prove she can write; that sheâs better at her job than all her male colleagues; anything that will get her off the terrible night shift that is slowly turning her brains to mush. And then she meets the woman with the poodle perm at the door of a wealthy suburb in the north of the city. Itâs just a domestic dispute, Paddyâs told, although her instincts are alerted when sheâs slipped a £50 note to keep the story out of the papers. By the next morning the woman is dead; sheâs been tortured, beaten, and left to die. Paddy has found her story, but sheâs still got the £50; and with her father and brothers unemployed, and her upright Roman Catholic family perilously short of money, this could solve a lot of problems. A day later, Paddy sees a body being pulled from the river. Another death, sheâs told; itâs nothing to do with you; go home. But when Paddy talks to the wife of the dead man, she finds that the relationship between him and the murdered woman was closer than the police had imagined. Why have these people died? What were they trying to hide? And could this be the break Paddyâs been waiting for? What follows is a deeply personal journey into the dark heart of a brutal economic recession, and the brutal bud of the drugs trade in the 1980s. Codice articolo 15246
