Pick up a glass of bubbly and celebrate the launch of Sally J Morgan’s debut novel, Toto Among the Murderers, A highly anticipated debut from the publishers of Elmet (Fiona Mosley) and Mr Pip (Lloyd Jones):
It is 1973 and Jude (known to her friends as Toto) has just graduated from art school and moves into a house in a run-down part of Leeds. Jude is a chaotic wild child who flirts with the wrong kind of people, drinks too much and gets stoned too often. Never happy to stay in one place for very long, her restlessness takes her on hitchhiking jaunts up and down the country. But what she doesn’t realise is that the violence is moving ever closer to home: there’s Janice across the road who lives in fear of being beaten up by her pimp again and Nel, whose perfect life is coming undone at her boyfriend’s hands. At the same time infamous murderers, Fred and Rosemary West, are stalking the country, on the lookout for girls like Jude.
