A moving tale set in East End London.
When Kate Flanagan sits in the Old Bailey court room and hears the seven-year sentence for armed robbery being passed on her husband, she knows that now is the time to get free of him and make a new life for herself and her two children. Kate has to move to a slum tenement block in Milldyke Street, Dockhead. Here she meets the attractive Amy Almond whose friendship opens doors of opportunity for new relationships. When Kate stumbles over the murdered body of a single woman who lived in the next block, however, she realises that she, herself, could be a target.
Kate turns to the attractive and sympathetic Sergeant Cassidy for protection and finds that her emotions, as well as her life, are in danger...
Harry Bowling
Harry was born in 1931 in a back street off the Tower Bridge Road. Only when his own children began to ask questions about the war, did Harry realise how many stories he had to tell. He became known as 'the King of Cockney sagas', and he wrote eighteen bestselling novels of London life. After Harry died in 1999, the Harry Bowling Prize was set up in his memory.
