Overview
"Earnshaw's mill is one of the last remnants of Bradfield's glorious industrial past; however times are changing and Earnshaw's future is hanging in the balance. Staff cuts need to be made if the mill is going to survive but the union is unhappy and its members are threatening strike action. With racial tensions already running high throughout the city, the prospect of mass redundancies at the heart of Bradfield's Muslim community could cause even more trouble." "The Earnshaw family's problems spiral out of control when they discover that their son Simon has been murdered. As DCI Michael Thackery and team investigate his death, the mill is left teetering on the brink; Simon was a major shareholder and he hasn't left a will - the future of Earnshaw's is under serious threat." "Meanwhile Thackery's girlfriend, reporter Laura Ackroyd, is looking into the many problems faced by the Muslim community - arranged marriages, strict religious codes and the threat from the increasing popular far right political group the British Patriotic Party. She is alerted to the case of Saira Khan, a promising student who appears to have gone missing. Despite assurances from her family that Saira is safe, her friends have been unable to contact her and are becoming increasingly worried about her safety." "As industrial and race relations continue to deteriorate, it isn't long before violence spills onto the streets of Bradfield."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
