Staincliffe writes brilliantly and compassionately about the things that matter' Literary Review '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' Val McDermid
Product Description
Janet Florin has been gone for almost a week. Husband Mark reported her missing when she failed to collect their two young children from school. Family friend, Trisha Marlowe, desperate for news of Janet, hires Sal Kilkenny to track her down. What led Janet to abandon everything she holds dear? Raminâs brother, Berfan, is missing, too. A failed asylum seeker, likely to be returned to Iran, has he disappeared to escape deportation? His brother says not. And when Sal hears that Berfan has been seen in Manchester, the chances of finding him look good. Sal has already traced Bob Swithinbankâs birth mother, though whether Sandra Patefield will ever agree to meet Bob is another matter. <br /><br />Meanwhile as the summer kicks into gear, the temperature is notched up on the domestic front, when Salâs housemate, Ray, wants to share much more than the choresâ¦<br />
