It’s nearly New Year 2010, and as usual in Manchester it’s cold, and it will probably rain later. Meanwhile, Sam (christened Samantha) Walker is a tough on the outside, soft on the inside, ex-cop private investigator, addicted to latte and toast, who is about to be hired for her first juicy job in ages; a suspicious death that the police don’t seem to able to get anywhere with. Will Sam be able to discover the incredible truth behind the explosion in the florist’s shop and the woman who until recently simply didn’t exist? And just who is the gorgeous man with the husky dogs… in Manchester?! Follow Sam as the case takes her to places she had never been before, with people she didn’t even know until this week.
