Summary

For 35 years Gina McGavin hunted for her mother's killer. In 1984, 58-year-old Mary McLaughlin was murdered in her home in Glasgow. Her death launched a large-scale police investigation that would take over three decades and advancements in DNA to solve. Mary McLaughlin's senseless brutal murder is one of Scotland's most puzzling cold cases. It ignited a deep sense of injustice in Gina, and an insatiable need to seek the truth about her mother's death. The two women had only just begun to work on their broken relationship with Gina finding ways to forgive her mother for abandoning the family home when Gina was just two years old. Now she felt abandoned again and it awakened in her an obsessive quest that would overshadow her whole life. Gina unravels family secrets and revelations about her mother as she began to suspect that some close to her knew more about Mary's murder than they were letting on.
