Old sins cast long shadows… When the bodies of a young, homeless girl and a girl who disappeared thirty years ago are found on the same day, residents in the historic city of York are aghast. It seems unlikely the two cases are related, and yet some of the same players knew both victims. As Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow and his eager new partner, Sergeant Jimmy Chang, dive into their investigation, they uncover a complicated web of pop stars, pub owners, shopkeepers and old school friends who each have something to hide. John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who shuns company, but is a keen observer of all he meets. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. He prefers to work alone and is perpetually trying to dodge his partner, who’s full of energy, modern ideas and theories. But as the two men gradually learn to work together to solve the case, it’s clear that the past is never as far away as you think.
Following demolition and redevelopment, and during the 1960s and 1970s, much of Barnsley changed and some parts are now almost beyond recognition. Still proud of its industrial heritage of wire, linen, glass and coal, the most important aspect of Barnsley remains the character of its people and, not surprisingly, many have risen to become leading figures in sport, the arts, science and business in recent years. Placing amazing archive images alongside beautiful modern photography and detailed captions, Brian Elliot explores what Barnsley has lost but also some of the positive new developments that have and are contributing to a New Barnsley – now promoted as a twenty-first century market town.
