Credits

Writer: Denise Mina; Genres: Fiction, Thriller; Publisher: Little Brown & Company

Glasgow crime reporter Paddy Meehan inadvertently takes a bribe to keep a domestic dispute she's seen out of the papers, only to learn the next morning the woman involved has been murdered.

Local Color
Even in Glasgow, a comedy open-mic night is ''like making vegans watch a seal cull.''

Bodily Trauma
A thug gets a three-inch heel through the eye.

Lowdown
In her sequel to Field of Blood, Mina's clearly enamored of chubby, blasphemous, quick-witted Paddy — and rightly so.
