Set in a brothel during the Yorkshire Ripper murders of 1977, Katy Massey's remarkable debut crime novel is inspired by her unique real-life experience and explores issues of race, sex work, class, and trust in the police.
'Powerful, provocative, beautiful and unforgettable. All Us Sinners is a chilling, moving, majestic debut' --- CHRIS WHITAKER
Leeds, 1977. A chill lies over the city: sex workers are being murdered by a serial killer they are calling the 'Ripper', the streets creeping with fear.
Tough, sharp, but tender, Maureen runs Rio's, a clean, discreet brothel in the city. She's a good boss who takes great care of her workers - especially her best girls, Bev and Anette. The Ripper may be terrifying girls who work the street, but at Rio's the girls seem safer.
But when Bev's sweet-natured son is found beaten to death, a figure from Maureen's past, DS Mick Hunniford, shows up at her door. Does his arrival herald danger or salvation? And who can Maureen really trust?
The impressive and moving debut crime novel from huge new talent Katy Massey opens up a world we have rarely seen, at a time of great danger and drama.
