'A twisting, darkly comic, thrill-a-minute ride across Europe. If you loved Killing Eve , you'll devour Conviction ' Erin Kelly 'Denise Mina brilliantly manages to be funny, heart-wrenching, gut-punching and addictive all at once: a fabulous, captivating novel' Nicci French
From 'the woman who may be Britainโs finest living crime novelist' (Daily Telegraph), Conviction stars a strong female protagonist who is obsessed by true crime podcasts and decides, one day, to investigate one of the unsolved crimes herself. Itโs just a normal morning for Anna McDonald. Gym kits, packed lunches, getting everyone up and ready. Until she opens the front door to her best friend, Estelle. Anna turns to see her own husband at the top of the stairs, suitcase in hand. Theyโre leaving together and theyโre taking Annaโs two daughters with them. Left alone in the big, dark house, Anna canโt think, she canโt take it in. With her safe, predictable world shattered, she distracts herself with a story: a true-crime podcast. Thereโs a sunken yacht in the Mediterranean, multiple murders and a hint of power and corruption. Then Anna realises she knew one of the victims in another life. She is convinced she knows what happened. Her past, so carefully hidden until now, will no longer stay silent. This is a murder she canโt ignore, and she throws herself into investigating the case. But little does she know, her past and present lives are about to collide, sending everything she has worked so hard to achieve into freefall. Conviction is the compelling and unique new thriller from multiple award-winner and author of THE LONG DROP, Denise Mina. **
PRAISE FOR THE LONG DROP:
" The Long Drop takes readers on a suspenseful tour into the past, through psyches and situations far grimmer than even those sooty Glasgow streets."
โ Maureen Corrigan , ***Washington Post
"Mina has always been a close observer of the brutality drunkards can inflict on their wives and children... this one feels painfully real."
โ Marilyn Stasio , ***New York Times Book Review
"A terrific exploration of crime and oppression."โ * Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"The emerging story is an intricate and suspenseful unveiling of a murderer's mind while taking readers on a compelling journey through Glasgow's historic underworld...This stand-alone thriller showcases Mina at her best, capturing the nuanced psychological suspense and ethical shadows of her Alex Morrow series as well as the electric dialogue and tangible grit of her Paddy Meehan novels."โ * Booklist (Starred Review)
"Outstanding."
