Sanctum by Denise Mina
PERFECT WIFE. PERFECT KILLER? ‘A masterly psychological web of people on the edge and the devils that lie beneath their apparent respectability. Engrossing’ Guardian Susie Harriot, a respected psychiatrist, has been convicted of the brutal murder of a serial killer in her care. It looks certain that she will be given a life sentence, depriving her of her home, her family and her two-year-old daughter. Susie’s husband, Lachlan, is convinced she is innocent and is desperate to prove it. Each night, he climbs the stairs to her study and goes through her papers – her case notes, her interviews, and the press cuttings from the trial. But the more Lachlan discovers, the more he suspects that his wife has been hiding a dark secret.
One of the most exciting writers to have emerged in Britain for years -- Ian Rankin
