The arrival of an assured and exhilarating new voice in literary
crime fiction
It's Manchester, July 1996, the month after the IRA bomb, and
the "Evening News" is carrying reports of two murders. On the front
page is a glamorous Egyptian woman, a socialite, and heiress to an
oil fortune, whose partially clothed body has been found in a
basement. In the back pages there is a 50-word piece on the murder
of a young prostitute found dumped on a roadside. For Henry Bane,
fixer, loanshark and legman for one of Manchester's established
ganglords, it's the second piece of news that hits hardest.
Determined to find out what happened to his childhood sweetheart he
searches his bombed city for answers, finding that these two
stories belong on the same page, and that Bane's world belongs to
others--those willing to profit from guns, human trafficking, and a
Manchester in decay.
