Manchester Slingback

Manchester’s Bowie Boys confront a dark secret Fifteen years ago Jake Powell was hustling on the fringes of Manchester’s gay Village: running wild with a crowd of rentboys, purse-snatchers and disco trash; sleeping with anyone and everything. Now he’s the boss of a smart West End casino. But, inside, he’s living a life fogged by regret.

When Detective Inspector Davey Green takes a sudden and unexpected interest in his past, Jake is forced to confront the dirty secrets that led to the murder of his best friend…
