Synopsis
A 10-year-old Glasgow boy has been accused of murdering a smaller child--and in Scotland, legal responsibility for a crime begins at age 8. The boy's adult cousin, Sean Ogilvy, is enlisted by his fianc'e Patricia 'Paddy' Meehan, a newspaper reporter covering the crime, to help her interview the boy. In addition, Paddy breaks up with him. And, in a further twist, she pretends to be a brutally ambitious colleague as she conducts her investigations--and her colleague ends up murdered. Denise Mina, a Scottish writer who knows Glasgow intimately, digs deep into the hearts of her characters, and into the city they inhabit, in this novel--the first of a series--about the destruction of innocence.
