Publisher's Synopsis
'BRUTAL, DARK AND LYRICAL MANC NOIR'
As clubbers in Manchester's most notorious club partied hard in the 90s, a girl collapsed, falling from the stage after a bad pill.
Few noticed. Those that did, didn't care, lost in a hedonistic haze.
John Black, an ex-SAS soldier, who was working security that night, carried her out in his arms.
'Lyrical-poetry and prose mix with blood down Manchster's harsh rain-soaked alleyways.'
