Denise Mina Livres

Que les lecteurs des deux premiers tomes de la trilogie Millénium ne lisent pas les lignes qui suivent s'ils préfèrent découvrir par eux-mêmes ce troisième volume d'une série rapidement devenue culte. Le lecteur du deuxième tome l'espérait, son rêve est exaucé : Lisbeth n'est pas morte. Ce n'est cependant pas une raison pour crier victoire : Lisbeth, très mal en point, va rester coincée des semaines à l'hôpital, dans l'incapacité physique de bouger et d'agir. Coincée, elle l'est d'autant plus que pèsent sur elle diverses accusations qui la font placer en isolement par la police. Un ennui de taille : son père, qui la hait et qu'elle a frappé à coups de hache, se trouve dans le même hôpital, un peu en meilleur état qu'elle... Il n'existe, par ailleurs, aucune raison pour que cessent les activités souterraines de quelques renégats de la Säpo, la police de sûreté. Pour rester cachés, ces gens de l'ombre auront sans doute intérêt à éliminer ceux qui les gênent ou qui savent. Côté forces du bien. on peut compter sur Mikael blomkvist, qui, d'une part, aime beaucoup Lisbeth mais ne peut pas la rencontrer, et, d'autre part, commence à concocter un beau scoop sur des secrets d'Etat qui pourraient, par la même occasion, blanchir à jamais Lisbeth. Mikael peut certainement compter sur l'aide d'Armanskij, reste à savoir s'il peut encore faire confiance à Erika Berger, passée maintenant rédactrice en chef d'une publication concurrente.

Wealthy twenty-two-year-old Chrissie Montgomery, set to inherit an enormous fortune, is missing. She's a walking target, ripe for someone to get their claws into. Her dying father, along with his sultry bottle blonde girlfriend, wants her found before that happens. They've hired Anna Riorden, Marlowe's nemesis, too. The search takes them to the roughest neighbourhoods of LA through dive bars and Skid Row. And that's before he finds the body at The Brody Hotel. Who will get to her first, Marlowe, Anne, or the men chasing her fortune? And does she want to be found?[Bokinfo].

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year "Resolution can stand alone, battered and proud, as a class-conscious crime novel that dares to tell the ugly truth." -New York Times Book Review Just as Maureen O'Donnell is struggling to give up drinking, she faces her most formidable challenges yet: testifying against her boyfriend's murderer and the return of her abusive father. Irresistibly blending suspense, compassion, raw instinct, and grim wit, Resolution provides a wrenching conclusion to Denise Mina's universally acclaimed Garnethill trilogy. "For anyone who thinks Western civilization too comfortable or crime novels no more than entertainment, Denise Mina's Garnethill trilogy will come as a salutary surprise. It will also make them laugh and keep them reading. It is a great achievement." -Times Literary Supplement "If you want a reason to try the crime genre, get yourself a novel by Denise Mina." -Rocky Mountain News "Mina depicts a Scotland so hard that merely living there can cut you like a shard of glass." -Baltimore Sun

31st August 1997 Rose Wilson is fourteen, but looks sixteen. She has seen more of the darkness in life than someone twice her age. On the night of Princess Diana's death Rose snaps and commits two terrible crimes. Her life seems effectively over. But then a defence lawyer takes pity and sets out to do what he can to save her, regardless of the consequences. Now DI Alex Morrow is a witness in the case of Michael Brown - a vicious arms dealer, more brutal and damaged than most of the criminals she meets. During the trial, while he is held in custody, Brown's fingerprints are found at the scene of a murder in the Red Road flats. It was impossible that he could have been there and it's a mystery that Morrow just can't let go. Meanwhile, a privileged Scottish lawyer sits in a castle on Mull, waiting for an assassin to kill him. He has sold out his own father, something that will bring the wrath of the powerful down upon him.
