NEWS 
DCI Tom Caton has had a pretty eventful eighteen months.  After three challenging cases enter Rob Thornton LLB.  Junior Leading Counsel, also based in Manchester.  Rob, an up and coming barrister with a bright future ahead of him, has a reputation for prosecuting rapists and perpetrators of domestic violence.  Until he wakes up one morning to find himself accused of rape. The nightmare appears to be over almost before it has begun. But he is haunted by the sudden disappearance of the woman who accused him.  His attempts to find her are sidetracked by a series of  strange messages and mysterious deaths that attract the attention of DCI Tom Caton, and Scotland Yard's Fixated Threat Assessment Centre.  As he struggles to make the connections he discovers that his own  life, and hers, are in jeopardy.  The riveting conclusion, in subterranean tunnels beneath the City of Manchester, will both challenge and surprise you.  Think Ian McEwan meets Val McDermid.  You will not be disappointed.  [I wish!].  Watch this space!
 
On the site you will find links to really important sights such as Caton's favourite restaurants, buildings, and the Pub Crawler's Guide to the City. 
 
Caton's Blog devoted to Caton's Reading Group - The Alternatives - has already reviewed four books and that will now accelerate to at least two a month.
 
 There are also links to essential sites for Manchester afficionados.  If you are as hooked on Manchester as I am, or just want to know more about this amazing City, please bookmark it on your tool bar.
