Beskrivning
She's a single parent. A private eye. And liking it. Until, that is, Mrs Hobbs turns up asking Sal Kilkenny to find her missing son.Sal's search takes her through the Manchester underworld, a wasteland of deprivation and petty theft, of well-heeled organised crime and, ultimately, murder. Would she have taken the job on if she had known what she was getting herself into? Actually, yes. Sal is on fire with a desire to see justice done and to avenge the death of a young lad whose only crime was knowing too much...This is the first Sal Kilkenny mystery, serialised on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. Praise for Cath Staincliffe: 'A book about courage and compromise, about how sometimes it's kinder and braver to lie.Stunning.' Anne Cleeves 'Modest, compassionate...a solid ingenious plotter with a sharp eye for domestic detail'Literary Review 'Complex and satisfying' The Sunday Times 'about as good as the British private eye novel gets' Time Out 'It's always exciting to see a writer get better and better, and Cath Staincliffe is doing just that'Val McDermid 'an engrossing read'Sunday Telegraph

Recensioner i media

Struggling single mother Sal Kilkenny is compassionate, gutsy, bright enough to know when it's clever to be scared and tenacious as a Rottweiler. Cath Staincliffe's tour of the mean streets and leafy suburbs of Manchester reveals the city as the natural successor to Marlowe's Los Angeles. With a cast of characters drawn from the gutter to the high ranks of business and officialdom, she probes the city's underbelly in an exciting tale of corruption, exploitation and brutality.
