Slip of the Knife

"Paddy Meehan thinks she might at last have it all: an apartment, a plum job as a leading newspaper columnist, and a large box of cookies to call her own." "But a relaxed Saturday night in front of the TV is disrupted when two policemen knock on her door. Smiling sympathetically, they inform her that someone close to her has died. She prepares herself for the worst - and is staggered when they tell her who it is." "Terry Hewitt has been found naked in a ditch, executed with a shot through the head. He was her first lover and her hero, the sort of journalist she always aspired to be. But they had a terrible falling-out and Paddy has not seen Terry in six months, making Paddy's next discovery all the more startling: Terry has left her everything in his will - a house, boxes of notebooks, and a very particular folder." "What was Terry trying to tell her? As Paddy begins her investigation into his murder, she realizes that if the secret he was about to expose was worth killing for, she and those closest to her are in terrible danger."--BOOK JACKET.Mina, Denise is the author of 'Slip of the Knife ', published 2008 under ISBN 9780316015585 and ISBN 031601558X.
