 Inspired by Zena Scott Archer, the first woman president of the Association of British Detectives in 1968, this is a story of a young woman, the agency she took over on her father’s death, the cases she worked and the city she loved.

Set in Liverpool through the mid-1950s – 1960s, the feel is that of a city coming to life after the long darkness of the war. Culture abounds thanks to the sailors visiting from distant shores.

The genre is light comedy, drama which is suspenseful, intriguing and spirited but above all warm. 

The theme is about a woman making it in a man’s world at a time when the woman’s place was very much in the home and not out and about chasing down criminals and ne’er do wells.
