by Jenny Thomson
Genre: #MysteryThriller
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Short description: Nancy Kerr and boyfriend Tommy try to find out who’s been abducting sex workers and bring them to justice. To succeed, they must delve into the sordid side of the city that few people ever get to see.
✢ SYNOPSIS ✢
Huddled in a doorway, in a blonde wig, and my best Pretty Woman outfit, I'm already soaked to the skin. As downward spirals go, this was bad.
But I wasn’t here because I was reduced to turning tricks for a living. I was here to catch a killer…
Throwaways. That's the word they're using for the four Glasgow sex workers who've gone missing. But two people do care.
When Suzy Henderson is found dead in a landfill site, her eyes pecked out by crows, they find the finger of another missing woman wedged in her throat.
Nancy Kerr and Tommy McIntyre are on the case and they won’t stop until they find the missing women. But, how can they trust anyone when they can’t even trust each other?

His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life.
