The Last Breath by Denise Mina

The Last Breath by Denise Mina

Glasgow, 1990. Paddy Meehan is home alone when there's a knock at the door. It's the police and they have bad news. Former boyfriend Terry Patterson's naked body has been found in a ditch. He's been tortured, hooded, then shot through the head: all hallmarks of an IRA assassination. Paddy is devastated: Terry was her first lover; the sort of journalist she's always aspired to be. But why have the police come to her? Although she and Terry have had an on/off affair since they first worked together in the 1980s, she hasn't seen him for over a year. She is therefore horrified to find that not only has Terry named her next of kin, but he has left her a huge Georgian house in Ayrshire and several suitcases full of notes. What was Terry trying to tell her? As Paddy begins her investigation into his death, she realises that if the secret he was about to expose was worth killing for, she is next in line...

Denise Mina is the author of the Garnethill trilogy, the first of which, Garnethill, won the John Creasey Dagger for best first novel. A stand-alone novel, Sanctum, was followed by her creation of the Paddy Meehan series which include The Field of Blood, winner of the 2006 Barry Award, and The Dead Hour, which was nominated for a 2007 Edgar Award. She has also written a year-long run of Hellblazer for DC Comics and the graphic novel A Sickness in the Family. Her first play Ida Tamson was staged in 2006. In between writing she raises children, mooches about eating toast and listens to thrash metal.
