In the dead of night, he’ll find you…

Based on a terrifying real theory about a serial killer at work along the Manchester canal – the Manchester Pusher – Karen Woods’s latest novel takes us right through the dark heart of the city one woman, Saskia Mayor, decides she’s going to find out who the perpetrator is.

But it turns out you shouldn’t ask questions if you’re not ready to hear uncomfortable answers. As she walks the city at night, will Saskia catch a killer or become his next victim?

Karen Woods writes about the world she grew up in and her beloved Manchester – in all its light and shade – is in every book. A reluctant reader until the age of 39 when an adult literacy course unlocked her future career, Karen has since written twenty-seven books set in and around the dark side of the city. She has appeared on Loose Women, The One Show and in an array of national press. Alongside her writing, Karen works in the school system and runs writing workshops to unlock the power of creativity.
