'Denise Mina gets to the heart of what crime really is. You feel like you are right there, in all the dark nooks and crannies that her characters inhabit' Sunday Times and international bestselling author, Karin Slaughter

Deception. Theft. Murder. All you need is confidence. A brand new escapist thriller from the award-winning author of Conviction
When Lisa Lee, a vulnerable young woman, vanishes from a pretty Scottish seaside town Anna and Fin find themselves at the centre of an internet frenzy to find her.

But Lisa may not be the hapless victim her father thinks. She had an unsuccessful YouTube channel and her last film showed her breaking into an abandoned French Chateau with other UrbExers and stumbling across a priceless Roman silver casket. One day after Lisa vanishes that casket gets listed for auction in Paris, reserve price fifty million euro and a catalogue entry that could challenge the fundamental principles of a major world religion.

On a thrilling chase across Europe, Anna and Fin are caught up in a world of international art smuggling, billionaire con artists and religious zealotry.

Confidence, is a thrill of a novel from one of crime writing's most accomplished authors.

[It is Mina's] sulphurous wit that makes her books a joy to read

Denise Mina is amazing and Confidence is just a delight; poignant, heartbreaking, dark and hilarious. I so want to be part of the gang with Anna, Fin, Bram, and Marcos as they charge across Europe. Such a perfect and thrilling adventure!

A real pacy thriller

i

A playful novel, written with energy, inventiveness and glee

Scotsman

Intriguing, touching, often very funny and full of ideas

A cinematic thriller... Hitchcockian

The Times

The excellent Denise Mina's latest is an irresistible thriller... A considerably sassier and much funnier alternative to The Da Vinci Code and its kind

Mail on Sunday

The sequel to the joyously funny Conviction... although there's a laugh on nearly every page, it's not short on thrills

Daily Express

A playful novel, written with energy, inventiveness and glee

Scotsman, *Books of the Year*

This romp unfolds as a glorious spoof of The Da Vinci Code but it's not short on thrills
