About this title

Review:

"Fascinatingly original... full off interesting characters... has an almost Dickensian feel" * Nottingham Post *

Synopsis:

Timberdick worked the pavements of Goodladies Road, where the men had bad ideas and the women should have known better. People like Filth, who stuck dead prostitutes in his scrapbook...and the pub landlady who sold protection to 'the girls'. It's 1963, and Timbers' first case challenges more than her powers of deduction. "Real people are killed by their family and friends...we get killed by everyone else" she's told by one of the girls. As her investigation gathers pace, she feels increasingly worthless, and starts to ask herself whether solving the murder will make any difference.
