A must for anyone who wants to understand the beating heart of contemporary Mancunian life.'

Product Description
When private eye Sal Kilkenny is asked to discover the whereabouts of Jennifer Pickering, disinherited by her family twenty years ago, it seems that Jennifer does not want to be found. Despite her initial reservations, as the events of the past gradually unfold, single-mum Sal finds that she is becoming engrossed in the case. There are dark secrets waiting to be uncovered but can Sal break the conspiracy of silence that surrounds this mystery? As she spends her days tracing Jennifer, Sal's nights become shattered by an emotional and often dangerous assignment with the Neighbour Nuisance Unit on one of Manchester's toughest housing estates. In this highly charged atmosphere of racial tension it is not surprising when tempers flare. As properties start to burn, Sal's two cases spiral out of control and events, past and present, collide with deadly intensity...

Format:Paperback
Cath Staincliffe paints such a true picture of my home town Manchester that it hurts - and still manages to raise a smile from me as I recognise the good bits as well. A sound plot that doesn't insult your intelligence, plenty of sub-plots that complement the main theme, and characters so real you start thinking you actually know them. She doesn't stuff the political issues down your throat, but they do catch in it. Highly recommended.
