Reckoner's Row

Liverpool 1950. When Evie Kilgaren takes over the running of the back office at Skinner and Son's haulage yard, she has no idea she is walking into a hive of blackmail, secrets and lies. Her fellow co-worker and childhood nemesis, Susie Blackthorn, is outraged at being demoted and is hell-bent on securing the affections of local heartthrob Danny Harris. Grace Harris, a singer on the D’Angelo transatlantic ocean liners, is returning home, engaged to be married. But Grace is harbouring her own shocking secrets and something valuable her fiancé very desperately wants back.

Liverpool, 1953. January sees the dawn of the Queen Elizabeth’s coronation year as the mothers of Reckoners Row unite in preparation for the celebration of the new queen. Meanwhile Evie Kilgaren is dreaming of her summer wedding to Danny Harris, but trouble looms for Skinner & Sons with a new rival trying to put them out of business, but no one knows why. Ada Harris is summoned to the bedside of her estranged husband, who, in his dying moment, confesses to a deadly secret—he knows who really murdered Evie’s mam, Rene, all those years ago and the consequences are far reaching.
