Travel Guide
The Steel City
Sheffield is known as and referred to as the Steel City due to its heritage and steel industry – Visit Kelham Island Museum for a history lesson and Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet where the only intact crucible steel furnace survives today. Maybe get some to coat your stomach with when reading this novel!
The city of Steel has had its nerves tested these past 20 years – the sole witness to a crime that long ago was an eleven-year-old boy, Jonathan Harkness. His parents were killed and he remained in a state of shock when they were found and didn’t speak for more than 18 months following the tragic event. It split the remaining family and children.
A cold case from a police officer who has just come back from the cold – and the city of steel is as hard as it ever was. Reflective and giving nothing away. Hard as nails.
