Hachette publicist Gemma Finlay thought we’d "be interested in the news that the TV adaption
of Denise Mina’s Field of Blood ($29.99 RRP, Hachette NZ) will screen on Vibe (SKY TV) next week.
Denise was in NZ early this month for
the Wellington Festival, so it’s great timing".
THE
FIELD OF BLOOD
NZ
PREMIERE, EXCLUSIVE TO VIBE
Paddy
Meehan is a new kind of heroine. A young, female, feisty and funny trainee
reporter, she often oversteps the mark between reporting crimes and solving
them - while sometimes becoming part of the crime along the way.
Paddy
has always had ambitions to be an investigative reporter. But in the male
dominated world of Scottish newspapers in 1982, no-one will take her
seriously. Not only is she young and female, she's not as thin and
glamorous as her rival trainee journalist. And her close-knit family can't
understand why she doesn't want to just settle down and marry the boy next
door. Then a big murder case breaks, and a member of Paddy's family is
implicated. Paddy has to make a choice – does she follow the case, and risk
being seen to betray her family, or does she turn her back on the career she's
been longing for? This suspenseful two-part crime drama is based on the
first of Denise Mina's Paddy Meehan novels, and stars the cream of British
acting talent including David Morrissey (State of Play), Peter Capaldi (Torchwood: Children of Earth) and introducing Jayd Johnson as Paddy Meehan.
