Resolution

An exhilarating crime novel from the two-time winner of the THEAKSTONS OLD PECULIER CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD.

Maureen ODonnell is facing the darkest episode in her life. She owes more than she makes in a year in back taxes; Angus Farrell, the psychologist who murdered her boyfriend, is up for trial, with Maureen as the reluctant star witness; and her abuser has arrived back in Glasgow in time for the birth of her sisters baby. On top of it all, Maureen - who identifies all too readily with the underdogs of this world - has become embroiled in someone elses family feud.

When an elderly stallholder at the flea market where Maureen and Leslie are selling illegally imported cigarettes dies in hospital after a brutal beating, Maureen questions why anyone might want to kill the woman popularly known as Home Gran. She suspects Ellas son, but Si McGee is an upstanding member of the Scottish business community, runs a chain of estate agents and has a health club in Glasgows West End. But she soon discovers that the health club fronts a much less respectable establishment. As Angus trial approaches, Maureen is under threat once again, and this time she has very few protectors.
