Cast-Iron Men

What you need to know before your trail

Set in Liverpool in the build up to the city’s reign as European Capital of Culture, Cast-Iron Men looks at the murky side of the city which local politicians and business leaders would rather stay hidden.

Two local reporters, Susan Clarke and Rachel Jack, are thrown together as they investigate their own stories: one, concerning the brutal murder of a prostitute; the other, allegations of police corruption made by one of Liverpool’s most notorious gangsters. Increasingly isolated, obstructed at every turn, and faced with danger, Susan and Rachel come to realise they can rely only on each other in their pursuit of the facts.
