The start of an gritty family drama series set against the backdrop of Liverpool's dockyards from bestselling saga author Sheila Riley On the cruel streets of Reckoners Row by the frozen River Mersey, only the tough survive...

Winter, Liverpool 1947

Evie Kilgaren is a fighter. Abandoned by her mother and with her father long gone, she is left to raise her siblings in dockside Liverpool. As they battle against the coldest winter on record she's determined to make a life for herself and create a happy home for what’s left of her family.

Desperate for work, Evie takes a job at the Tram Tavern under the kindly watch of pub landlady, and pillar of the community, Connie Sharp. But Connie has problems of her own when her quiet life of spinsterhood is upturned with the arrival of a mysterious undercover detective.

When melting ice reveals a body in the canal, things take a turn for the worst for the residents of Reckoner’s Row. Who could be responsible for such a brutal attack? And can Evie keep her family safe before they strike again?

A gritty, historical family drama full of laughter and tears from the author of Annie Groves’ bestsellers including Child of the Mersey and Christmas on the Mersey.

Perfect for fans of Chrissie Walsh, Katie Flynn and Dilly Court.

If you love Sheila's Reckoners Row series, you'll love Beamer Street and the Dockside Saga series
