A Sal Kilkenny Mystery
Sal Kilkenny, single mother and private eye, has two very frightened clients on her hands. One, divorcee Debbie Gosforth, is the victim of a deranged stalker; the other, teenager Luke Wallace, is afraid he might be a murderer. Both are likeable, vulnerable but frustratingly unreliable - Debbie through blind fear, Luke because he simply cannot remember the night when, off his head on a cocktail of Ecstacy and alcohol, he is alleged to have stabbed his best friend Ahktar Khan to death.
But as Sal sets about finding the identity of the stalker who's making Debbie's life a living hell, the city goes up in smoke. The IRA bomb the Arndale Centre and, against a backdrop of Euro 96 and Oasis, a summer of terror begins. And as she unearths disturbing new shreds of evidence about Ahktar's death, Sal finds herself and her family in a much more personal firing line . . .
