In the unforgettable conclusion to Denise Mina's Garnethill trilogy, Maureen O'Donnell, plagued by her past and struggling to quit drinking, must finally confront two more trying situations: her testimony against her boyfriend's murderer and the return of her abusive father. As the trial nears, Maureen finds herself in the most difficult--and dangerous--time of her life yet. "Mina depicts a Scotland so hard that merely living there can cut you like a shard of glass."--Dail Willis, Baltimore Sun "If you want a reason to try the crime genre...get yourself a novel by Denise Mina."--Jane Dickinson, Rocky Mountain
