Featured work and upcoming releases
Into Manchester’s gritty, yet dynamic modern culture comes Quincy Adams, an intuitive American writer, who pub-crawls her way through the city and into the path of a violent psychopath.
As Quincy’s extrasensory capacities lead her to suspect certain university academics, local students start to go missing, and she finds it hard to stand aside and watch. All clues point to the gothic city’s industrial past, and its series of abandoned underground tunnels.
