The Boy From Zion Street

A penniless mother tries to sell two gilt-framed prints to an art dealer believing they are original paintings. But he is a police informer and the pictures were stolen during a suspected homicide when Hitler's bombers blitzed Manchester fifteen years earlier. The woman's innocent mistake triggers a cycle of death and vengeance down the decades and ultimately engulfs her brilliant son as he is about to retire as a judge. It is then, in the run-up to the 2015 British general election, that the secrets of his chaotic, working class family are used to blackmail him in a political conspiracy that will end in tragedy and murder.
