What you need to know before your trail

Unknown, alone, and fearing for your life: as PC Lucy Clayburn is about to find out, going undercover is the most dangerous work there is.

But, on the trail of a prolific female serial killer, there’s no other option – and these murders are as brutal as they come. Lucy must step into the line of fire – a stranger in a criminal underworld that butchers anyone who crosses the line.

Travel Guide

Paul Finch’s Manchester

Borsdane Wood

Borsdane Wood wasn’t as idyllic as it might sound, covering several hundred acres of abandoned industrial land on the town’s northern outskirts, not far from the old power station and sewage plant, and ultimately terminating at the M61 motorway.

In summer it was trackless and overgrown, and in winter bleak and isolated. Bottles , beer cans and other rubbish routinely strewed its clearings;

Hatchwood Green Estate (fictional)

The Hatchwood Green Estate was a sinkhole even  y the standards of Crowley which was one of Greater Manchester’s mot deprived boroughs, It had been constructed in the 1950s, along with the rest of the district’s many council estates ,though this was one of the largest, having been built on extensive brownfield land, – site formerly occupied by the long defunct Manchester Railway Company – and in so many ways it embodied the decline of the countil housing dream in post-war Britain

Crowley

The Aggies was one of numerous spoil-heaps in Crowley, A former hotbed of coal mining and cotton – weaving, he township was sandwiched between Bolton and Salford…. it had definitely seen better days the glory years of muck and brass having long departed.
