I have been donated this copy and I am half way through a bookring for the same book!!
The Times Dead Beat introduces Kate Brannigan, a female private detective who does for Manchester what V.I. Warshawski has done for Chicago. As a favour, Kate agrees to track down a missing songwriter, Moira Pollock, a search that takes her into some of the seediest parts of Leeds and Bradford. But little does she realize that finding Moira is a prelude to murder...

RELEASE NOTES:

Advertised RABCK to brunton11 2nd Class 23rd July 2007

Received today - Thanks Sterile!

This is the first Kate Brannigan book I've read. It was a bit dated (fake shellsuit anyone?!) but living in Salford I could appreciate the Manchester references. I have a few more KBs on my shelf so I'll look forward to them.

I'm sending this book to elhurricane so that it can take it's place at the Portuguese Book Swimming Pool.

It arrived only today (after de Convention).
So I'll keep it and then release it.
Thanks bruton11
