'Vivid atmosphere, great dialogue and a gritty, tightly wound plot confirm Massey as a star of the future.' - Daily Mail
Leeds 1982. As a city struggles to break free of the past, evil finds a new place to hide.
DS Mick Hunniford, tired and tainted by the botched Yorkshire Ripper investigation, is yesterday's man, his career hanging by a thread.
Maureen, owner of Leeds's leading brothel, struggles to recover from a horrendous attack three years before.
When notorious escort Lynda Brown is killed in front of Maureen's eyes, she and Mick find themselves drawn together once more.
The pair must face a new killer, with new appetites, one which dwells among the city's elites. Can they put the past behind them once and for all, even if this investigation proves to be their last?

Notă biografică
Katy Massey was a journalist for many years before studying for an MA and PhD in Creative Writing. Her memoir, Are We Home Yet? was published in 2020 and praised by Bernardine Evaristo as 'a gem'. It was shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize and the Portico Prize. In addition, her fiction and nonfiction work has been widely anthologised, including Common People edited by Kit de Waal, The Place for Me, and speculative collection Glimpse. All Us Sinners, her first novel, is an unusual take on the crime genre featuring Maureen, a tough but tender-hearted brothel-keeper in 1970s Leeds. She is unexpectedly drawn into investigating the killing of a friend's son, events which take place against the disturbing backdrop of the Yorkshire Ripper's murder spree. It won the ILP John Creasey First Novel Dagger in 2025.
