Philip Marlowe is on the hunt for a missing heiress in L.A. —and up against a rival PI—in this smart and atmospheric mystery from acclaimed crime writer and "one-of-a-kind storyteller" Denise Mina.

The Philip Marlowe character, one of the original "hard-boiled" detectives, was the creation of Raymond Chandler in the era of pulp magazines. Posthumous sequels have been authorized by the Chandler estate, and The Second Murderer is the first to be written by a woman.

«День, когда тихая респектабельная жизнь Анны Макдональд разрушилась, начался так же, как и все предыдущие: подготовка детей к школе, завтрак и прослушивание очередного криминального подкаста. Затем — шокирующее решение мужа развестись и забрать детей. Пытаясь отвлечься от реальности, Анна возвращается к подкасту: чужие проблемы куда лучше собственных — затонувшая яхта, убитая семья... Но, к своему ужасу, Анна узнаёт в жертве знакомого из предыдущей жизни. Жизни, о которой ей хотелось бы забыть...
Убежденная, что терять уже нечего, героиня бросается на расследование дела с подкастом в качестве проводника. И не подозревает, что прошлая и настоящая жизни вот-вот столкнутся».

From the multi-award-winning master of crime, Denise Mina delivers a radical new take on one of the darkest episodes in Scottish history—the bloody assassination of David Rizzio private secretary to Mary, Queen of Scots, in the queen’s chambers in Holyrood Palace.

On the evening of March 9th, 1566, David Rizzio, the private secretary of Mary, Queen of Scots, was brutally murdered. Dragged from the chamber of the heavily pregnant Mary, Rizzio was stabbed fifty six times by a party of assassins. This breathtakingly tense novella dramatises the events that led up to that night, telling the infamous story as it has never been told before.

A dark tale of sex, secrets and lies, Rizzio looks at a shocking historical murder through a modern lens—and explores the lengths that men and women will go to in their search for love and power.

Rizzio is nothing less than a provocative and thrilling new literary masterpiece.

The day Anna McDonald's quiet, respectable life exploded started off like all the days before: Packing up the kids for school, making breakfast, listening to yet another true crime podcast. Then her husband comes downstairs with an announcement, and Anna is suddenly, shockingly alone.

Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast. Other people's problems are much better than one's own -- a sunken yacht, a murdered family, a hint of international conspiracy. But this case actually is Anna's problem. She knows one of the victims from an earlier life, a life she's taken great pains to leave behind. And she is convinced that she knows what really happened.

Then an unexpected visitor arrives on her front stoop, a meddling neighbor intervenes, and life as Anna knows it is well and truly over. The devils of her past are awakened -- and they're in hot pursuit. Convinced she has no other options, Anna goes on the run, and in pursuit of the truth, with a washed-up musician at her side and the podcast as her guide.
