Go Not Gently

Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

Headine

Juggling the school-run with assignments is a strange mixture for Sal Kilkenny, private investigator and single mother.  But the toughest part of her job is answering the unanswerable.  As, for instance, when Sal's new client Agnes Dolan asks why her friend Lily Palmer, recently installed in Homelea Nursing Home, should decline so rapidly into Alzheimer's.  At first, it seems to be a tragedy rather than a mystery - but when Sal digs deeper she finds this domestic case is far more dramatic than it appears...

She's a single parent. A private eye. And liking it. Until, that is, Mrs Hobbs turns up asking Sal Kilkenny to find her missing son. Sal's search takes her through the Manchester underworld, a world of deprivation, of well-heeled organised crime and, ultimately, murder. Would she have taken the job on if she had known what she was getting into? Probably, because Sal is fired with the desire to see justice done, to avenge the death of a young lad whose only crime was knowing too much...
