"Against the backdrop of Euro '96 and the soundtrack of Oasis, a summer of terror begins. Sal Kilkenny has two very frightened clients on her hands. Debbie Gosforth is the victim of a deranged stalker while teenager Luke Wallace is afraid he might be a murderer as he has, allegedly, stabbed his best friend Ahktar Khan to death. And then the IRA bomb Manchester's Arndale Centre and the city goes up in smoke."--Publisher description.

Looking for Trouble (Sal Kilkenny Mystery)
Bitter Blue (Sal Kilkenny Mysteries) (Sal Kilkenny Mysteries)
Legacy of Sins
Keeps the gritty northern English setting and buried family secrets, but trades stalker menace for warm historical saga romance.
Mollie on the Shore
Another story of hidden parentage and class friction in a coastal English town, slower and more domestic than the crime plot.
Rookhurst Hall
Offers a mystery unravelled from old photographs, so puzzle-solving remains, though the danger is gentler and a slow-burn romance carries it.
The love that split the world
Shares an uncanny, unsettling sense that reality is slipping, but it's a lyrical YA love story rather than a violent urban investigation.
