An unoccupied flat. A freshly dressed bed. The body of a young woman laid out neatly on the duvet. The dead girl looks familiar–troublingly familiar–but Detective Inspector Cassie May can't place her. And to compound her troubles, Cassie has just started dating the flat's owner, James Flynn.

When her boyfriend is accused of murder, an ambitious young DI risks her career–and her life–by defying her bosses, the security services, and a crime syndicate, to prove the innocence of a man who seems more worried about the long-buried secrets she might unearth than the murder charge hanging over him.

Set across the leafiest of Sheffield suburbs, the sink estates of South Manchester, and the bleak and snowy Pennine moors that separate them, The Wythenshawe Dandy presents a discomforting picture of a world where privilege and wretchedness coexist.

Praise for this Book:

'The Wythenshawe Dandy is a compelling read with cleverly drawn characters and a real sense of place. Just when you think you might have worked things out, another deftly written twist is added and the plot grips the reader even tighter. A brilliant debut. Very highly recommended.'—Kerry Hadley-Pryce

'A new voice with his finger on the pulse of the contemporary North, Galbraith is a natural born storyteller.'—Kate Lord Brown
