Publisher's Synopsis
Wanting to rid Manchester of evil, an assassin scours the newspaper headlines for his next victim... Meanwhile a young prostitute is viciously attacked, and Doctor Clare Burtonall has to decide whether or not to terminate her life support. As Clare contemplates the girl's future, her boyfriend - the handsome and intelligent Bonn - looks after the working girls on Manchester's seedy streets. A high-class male escort, he understands the tough and lonely world they inhabit, and he knows the imminent release of a paedophile back into the area will cause waves on streets already seething with suppressed anger.
