CATH STAINCLIFFE

Publication: Allison & Busby Limited, 2002, London

First edition. Fine in dust jacket. Christmas is put on hold for Manchester private eye, Sal Kilkenny, after she reluctantly decides to investigate the death of a mentally unstable mother, Miriam Johnstone. The coroner's verdict is suicide: yet a grieving family and Sal's own suspicions suggest otherwise. Why would a woman so petrified of heights choose to jump from the top of a multi-story parking garage? Later, Sal accepts another case from a distressed single mother. The distraught woman is gravely concerned about the behavior of her college-aged son. Up until this point in time, Adam Reeve has been a model son. Suddenly, his grades have been going down and he is disappearing for long periods of time. It's Sal's job to follow him and see if she can determine the reason for the turn-around in his behavior.
