Deadline for Murder: The Third Lindsay Gordon Mystery (Kate Brannigan Mysteries)
This mystery, part of the popular Lindsay Gordonseries, is set in  Glasgow, Scotland. Author Val McDermid, who grew up in a Scottish mining community, captures the  sharp, colorful dialects of characters who live in newly renovated yuppie flats, low rent dives, and  everything in between. On her way to solve the mystery of one friend's murder and another's conviction for  the same, scrappy, soft-hearted journalist Lindsay Gordon learns a thing or two she didn't expect--or want-- to learn about the complications of lesbian love.
