Présentation de l'éditeur :
Revue de presse :
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...
"Mina infuses the city with human warmth and social realism; dialogue is convincingly street-witty and Paddy is an endearing heroine." (The Times)
"Uncompromisingly real... Another fine book from Mina, and in Paddy Meehan, she has created a touching and loving heroine." (Sunday Telegraph)
"Mina's detached but unsentimental view of man's humanity to man (and, more often, woman )never flinches. This is crime writing as morality tale." (Guardian)
"Mina meticulously creates a bleak, Dostoevskian world abandoned by light and spirit, populating it with sharply drawn characters." (Kirkus Review)
"Paddy Meehan is the most unlikely, and most realistic, investigator in recent crime fiction. And The Dead Hour is arguably the most gripping, surprising and satisfying thriller in many a season." (Wall Street Journal)
