Description

A gripping novel based on true events, What Doesn't Kill Us explores the darker side of 1980s England. In the face of a serial killer stalking the streets of Leeds, women are forced to take matters into their own hands. As police officer Liz Seeley delves deeper into the case, she finds herself drawn to a feminist collective led by Rowena, where she meets Charmaine - a young Black woman fighting against discrimination on two fronts. As the body count rises and the authorities struggle to catch the killer, the women's anger finds an outlet in violence, leading to a dramatic confrontation. This tense and thought-provoking novel combines elements of police procedural with the power and passion of the Women's Lib movement, revealing just how much the world has changed - yet remains unchanged - since the 1970s.
