Description
Still Midnight by Denise Mina is the first novel in the Alex Morrow crime series, set in Glasgow, Scotland. Detective Alex Morrow is called to a quiet suburban house after three armed men break in looking for a man who has never lived there. The situation quickly turns violent: one member of the household is shot, another is kidnapped, and the attackers demand a ransom that makes little sense. What initially appears to be a bungled crime soon raises more complicated questions about who was targeted and why.
As Morrow investigates, she finds herself drawn into a case that is far less straightforward than it first appears. The novel combines police investigation, suspense and psychological tension, with Glasgow providing the setting for a crime that reaches beyond the immediate victims and perpetrators. Still Midnight introduces Alex Morrow as a determined police detective and begins the crime series that follows her work and the cases she encounters.
