Glasgow, 1979. Janie doesn't want to take her dog, Sid Vicious, for a walk. Not anymore. Not after what happened down the abandoned railway. Because it's Sid's fault that she found the body. No matter how hard she tries, she can't remember what she saw or who was there with her when it happened, but the police think she's hiding something. And they're not the only ones interested. Janie and her nana start to investigate everyone in their neighbourhood, hoping that the key to solving the mystery is hidden somewhere in the Possilpark estate. But when Janie starts to remember all the things she managed to forget, she realises why she kept quiet in the first place, and what might happen to her - and to the community she loves - if she isn't careful...

Ideal for readers interested in crime & mystery.
