THE MOST CHALLENGING VALUE PEOPLE CAN COMMIT TO IS THE TRUTH...On the tropical coast of Queensland, Sugar Town's annual harvest festival is a time for restraint to be set aside; for the fanciful and the mischievous to be indulged. But when innocent questions elicit shocking and unexpected answers, the mischief turns, once again, to malevolence which will hold a reckoning to be delivered...The denial of Sugar Town's painful past has created a common recourse. Yet when an ambiguous stranger visits Sugar Town, questions are raised and the community is faced with its greatest challenge yet... uncovering the truth of the past.When a thirteen-year-old girl stumbles upon Sugar Town's secret conspiracies, new crimes are committed to cover the old and ageing indifferences are provoked. The most dangerous aspect of Sugar Town's community is its silence..."Wonderfully engaging and menacing with absorbing characters and plot that keeps the pages flicking past and my breath captured until the end..." Patrick, Indie Book reviewer

Lying 7 miles south-east of Manchester, the town of Stockport can trace its history back to the foundation of a castle in the area in the late twelfth century and the granting of a borough charter around 1220. The town grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution but the earlier town is still visible in the narrow cobbled streets and historic buildings in the market area of the town centre. Stockport was famous from the sixteenth century for the production of hemp and rope, and became a centre for hat-making and the silk industry. During the nineteenth century it was at the heart of cotton manufacturing and today the rich and varied history of the town can be seen in its unique hatting museum, underground Second World War shelters, art deco cinema and theatre and regenerated former industrial buildings. A-Z of Stockport delves into the history of this historic town, revealing interesting and significant moments in the story of Stockport. It highlights well-known landmarks, famous residents and digs beneath the surface to uncover some of the lesser-known facts about Stockport and its hidden gems.
