An unlucky Maureen O'Donnell wakes up one fuzzy-headed morning to discover her therapist-boyfriend in the middle of the living room, tied up to one of her kitchen chairs, with his throat slit clean through. As if a dead-end job in the grim precincts of Glasgow's Garnethill were not a drag enough, Maureen now finds herself the prime suspect in a grisly murder case. Determined to clear herself, she is uncovering a dire trail of rape, deception, and suppressed scandal at a local psychiatric hospital when a second mutilated corpse surfaces. Hers could be the third. It's time for Maureen to get lucky.
