It’s just a normal morning when Anna’s husband announces that he’s leaving her for her best friend and taking their two daughters with him.

With her safe, comfortable world shattered, Anna distracts herself with someone else’s story: a true-crime podcast. That is until she recognises the name of one of the victims and becomes convinced that only she knows what really happened.

With nothing left to lose, she throws herself into investigating the case. But little does she know, Anna’s past and present lives are about to collide, sending everything she has worked so hard to achieve into freefall.

Publisher Review

It is clear from the very start of Denise Mina's Conviction quite how much fun she - and her readers - are about to have... Mina is such a classy writer and Anna is a darkly brilliant creation * Observer * A wonderfully atmospheric, unsettling read. -- Louise Rhind-Tutt * i * Not a single word is wasted in this beautifully written novel. Unsettling, evocative and staggeringly good, it is possibly Mina's finest achievement * Daily Express * This highly original, ballsy thriller is like nothing you have read - or Denise Mina has written - before -- Mark Sanderson * The Times, *Books of the Year* * Denise Mina is the cream of the crop, an author who pushes the crime novel in new and exciting directions
