      By Walker, Nicola  Sives, Jamie, 1973-
       2022., Adult, PBS Call No: SC DVD Fic Annika 1    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Annika   Volume: 1Summary Note: Detective inspector Annika Strandhed has returned to Glasgow to head up the Marine Homicide Unite, where she is tasked with solving the puzzling crimes and unexplained murders that wash up in Scotland's waters. Annika takes the audience into her confidence by speaking directly to them, sharing her wry observations on the case and her life, as she balances solving cases, managing a new team, and raising a brilliant yet complex teenage daughter. Intuitive and instinctive, Annika has a weakness for using literary and historical references to help solve her crimes, an enthusiasm that her team definitely doesn't share, but which is often the thing that unlocks the case. The team's cases take them from the depths of Glasgow's Clyde River to the Isle of Bute and picturesque Loch Katrine.

       2006., Bantam Press Call No: SC MYS Fic Min    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Set in Glasgow in 1984, Mina's riveting second thriller to feature Patricia "Paddy" Meehan (after 2005's A Field of Blood) opens with the 21-year-old crime reporter for the Scottish Daily News following up a late-night disturbance complaint at a Victorian villa in the posh suburb of Bearsden. The tall, attractive man at the door assures Paddy, as he had the police, that the incident won't happen again. Behind him is a blond woman with a bloody face, Vhari Burnett, a well-respected political activist and lawyer. The man bribes Paddy, as he had the police, to keep quiet. The next day the news of Vhari's murder dismays the normally scrupulous Paddy. When a suicide is fished out of the river, Paddy begins to connect the two deaths. Meanwhile, Vhari's cokehead sister, Kate, is on the run from Vhari's killer, and Mina skillfully alternates Kate's desperate point-of-view with that of Paddy, who's determined to do the right thing and bag the story.
