Manda Scott’s first ever book was short listed for the Orange Prize and is packed with drama. <\/p>\n

Midnight in Glasgow is not the best time to be faced with a dead body. Particularly if the body in question is your ex-lover and the woman grieving at her bedside used to be your friend. Add a corpse packed with Temazepam, a genetic engineer with an unstable past and a killer on the loose with a knife and you have all the reason you need to walk away and never come back. Glasgow therapist Dr Kellen Stewart has put the past behind her: medical career, relationship, life on the farm in the country. Thenthe phone rings and Bridget is dead \u0096 the only lover who ever counted.The local doctor says it’s a heart attack, the police think it’s suicide. Kellen knows that it’s neither but is she willing to rake up the past to prove it? Dragged into a world of rogue doctors, bent genetic engineers and killers who gut their victims as a warning, Kellen must face her own past as much as the very real terrors of the present to stop the killing \u0096 or she’ll be next. <\/p>\n

Murder runs in families. How could a healthy forty-one-year old woman die of cardiac arrest? When Glasgow psychiatrist Kellen Stewart learns of the death of her ex-lover Bridget Donnelly, she quickly suspects foul play. Then she discovers that Bridget’s brother, Malcolm, died of the same cause just weeks before – hours after bringing some hens to Bridget’s country farmhouse for safekeeping. And now those hens are missing… With the help of a friendly pathologist who numbers breaking and entering among her more formidable skills, Kellen investigates the deaths. The trail of evidence will take her into a dangerous maze of valuable hens, lethal eggs, bodies that vanish from the morgue… and biomedical marvels that lead to murder… <\/p>\n

A real classic for lesbian crime fans. <\/p>\n
