Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 2003

It’s the countdown to Christmas and Sal Kilkenny is exhausted even thinking about the festive season - after all with one small but demanding daughter, the life of a single mum is pretty hectic at the best of times. So when she is asked to investigate a suicide that a grieving family cannot come to terms with, she turns the case down. Eventually, against her better judgement, she is persuaded to look into the woman’s last hours and is ashamed to realise how little the authorities investigated. Why would a woman so petrified of heights choose to jump from the top of Manchester’s Arndale Centre car park?

From Publishers Weekly

Sal Kilkenny has a lot on her plate: she's a "single mum" of two with a brand new beau, juggling parenting duties with two new cases for her private investigation practice and to make matters more complicated, Christmas is just around the corner. On one end of Manchester, a family refuses to believe the coroner's report establishing their mother's cause of death as suicide, while on the other, a mother fears her son has a double life; only one case will lead to real danger, but both will deeply move Sal in Cath Staincliffe's (Looking for Trouble) Towers of Silence.
