Swindler'S List : A New Mcbride Murder Mystery

It's 2016 and young Lou Bannister is lapping up the bright lights of Leeds, embarking on a Film and Media degree he hopes will give him a new start. When the love of his life Annette McBride turns up to research her family tree Lou's world is suddenly turned upside down. Things quickly turn from bad to worse when the body of a young student is found close by. Investigations lead Lou and Nette to the darker side of the city and it's becoming increasingly likely that the killer may be someone they know. Can Lou and Nette track down the perpetrator before he strikes again? In 1872 a young Locksmith, John McBride arrives in Leeds to begin work at Armley jail. A country boy at heart, he is repulsed by the stark and insanitary conditions of the city and the lawlessness it breeds. The only place he can seek comfort is the local church where he meets the minister's daughter, Florrie Lee Hardcastle. Deploring the society that ignores its festering slums they work together to make the city a better place; feeding the hungry, tending the sick, visiting prisoners at Armley Jail, whilst slating the legal system that dragged them down. Can John and Florrie make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate? Two young men from very different eras seek to make the city a better place. Time passes, people change but MURDER is always MURDER.
