Synopsis
FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'THE UNPICKING'
When whispers of abuse at Arrol's department store reach Mabel, a determined policewoman, she knows she must act. Enlisting the help of Johnnie, a cunning thief, and Beatrice, a savvy businesswoman, they embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth.
Set against the backdrop of 1920s Glasgow, where women's voices are often silenced, this thrilling tale weaves together crime, justice, and the fight for equality. As the trio inches closer to exposing the scandal, they realize that in a world where women are rarely believed, their very lives may be at stake.
'A history-mystery, inspired by a true crime, and yet striking in its topicality. Donna Moore tells a dark story, but with a light touch and plenty of pace.' - Martin Edwards, Author of the Rachel Savernake series
Praise for The Unpicking:
'A stirring tribute to resilience, hope and self-belief.' - Alastair Mabbott, The Herald
'You need a strong stomach to follow these three generations of women... Enthralling? Definitely. I read this in two sittings.' - The Yorkshire Times
