Single mum and private investigator Sal Kilkenny’s two new clients look to have pretty straightforward cases - proof of adultery and proof of abuse. But things are rarely what they seem at first glance....The second in the much praised Sal Kilkenny Crime series.
Juggling the school run with private investigating, Sal Kilkenny's life is a strange mix of the dramatic with the domestic. Sal has two new clients: Jimmy Achebe wants her to confirm his suspicions of his wife's infidelity and Agnes Donlan fears for her friend Lily, who has undergone a swift decline in her new nursing home. Sal soon finds herself in treacherous territory which threatens to impinge on her private life...
