Manchester historian Terry Wyke provides detailed individual entries for each sculpture featured, including information about the artist and the commissioning agent, date of installation, and the sculpture's historical and artistic significance.

In an age when football clubs name 18-player squads on each and every match day, Bury's achievement in winning promotion from Division Four in the 1984/85 season, using only 15 players throughout its entirety, will likely never be repeated. British football lay squarely in the doldrums in the middle of the 1980s. Hooliganism was the scourge of the game and crumbling, archaic grounds were a million miles from the gleaming stadia of today. Bury fan James Bentley knew that ex-England international Martin Dobson led the squad, but he didn't know anything about the team and how they succeeded against the odds. He set out to find them and to tell their story, against the backdrop of Britain in 1984 and 1985. This is the result.

"Newly-appointed DI Jack Striker, of Greater Manchester Police's Major Incident Team, has a dark secret, one that would land him in prison. Striker's first case seems a straight-forward gang-on-gang slaying, until a notorious youth is found hanged. Before any chance to investigate, bodies begin stacking up. With the hot breath of the brass burning his neck, including hardfaced DCI Maria Cunningham who's onto him, Striker knows this case will make or break him. The media-dubbed 'Hoodie Hunter' mixes MO's, leaving few leads, and Striker recognizes the work of a highly-skilled vigilante killer. When Striker's nephew is put into a coma, it becomes personal. Desperate, he runs an unofficial op' with his trusty colleagues, the stunning DC Lauren Collinge and un-PC DC Eric Bardsley, placed in the line of fire. The killer's trail leads Striker into his own shady past, but will he catch the Hoodie Hunter before he or a colleague becomes the next victim?"--Page 4 of cover.
