Bitter Blue (Sal Kilkenny Mysteries (Paperback))

On her first day back after the Easter break, Manchester based PI Sal Kilkenny takes on two new cases. The first is to discover who is sending offensive poison pen letters to hotel receptionist Lucy Barker. The second is surveillance work for a couple that want reassurance that there are no nuisance neighbors or criminal activity in the area theyre planning to buy a new home. As Sal prepares to stake out the streets a bitter cold snap plunges the country into arctic conditions. Her stress levels are not helped by the escalation of the campaign against Lucy Barker and her inability to nail the perpetrator who maddeningly avoids capture. Plus theres trouble at home as Sals daughter Maddie seems unable to settle at school. When Sals normally mundane surveillance duties bring her face to face with a grim discovery and violent crime shes sure that it just cant get any worse before it gets better. Unluckily for Sal there is more than one surprise in store for her and a nightmarish sequence of events may well turn out to be a matter of life and death...
