Can Sal break the conspiracy of silence that surrounds her latest case
Sal Kilkenny is asked to discover the whereabouts of Jennifer Pickering, disinherited twenty years ago. But it seems that now Jennifer does not want to be found. And as she spends her days tracing Jennifer, Sal's nights are shattered by a dangerous stint with the Neighbour Nuisance Unit on one of Manchester's toughest housing estates. In this highly charged atmosphere it's not surprising when tempers flare... and as properties start to burn, Sal's two cases spiral out of control and events, past and present, collide with deadly intensity.Sal Kilkenny SeriesLooking For Trouble (Book 1)Go Not Gently (Book 2)Dead Wrong (Book 3)Stone Cold Red Hot (Book 4)Towers of Silence (Book 5)Bitter Blue (Book 6)Missing (Book 7)Crying Out Loud (Book 8)Praise for Cath Staincliffe:'Gritty, intelligent, humane and involving' Big Issue'Deftly organised, with several surprising twists.'
