WHAT DOESN KILL US - AJAY CLOSE KARTONIERT (TB)

A killer stalks the streets of Leeds  a city in England's industrial north. Every man is a
suspect. Every woman is at risk. But in a house on Cleopatra Street  women are fighting back.
It's the eve of the 1980s. Police officer Liz Seeley joins the squad investigating the murders.
With a violent boyfriend at home and male chauvinist pigs at work  she is drawn to a feminist
collective led by the militant and uncompromising Rowena. There she meets Charmaine—young 
Black  artistic  and fighting discrimination on two fronts. As the list of victims grows and
police fail to catch the killer  women are too terrified to go out after dark. To the feminists
the Butcher is a symptom of wider misogyny. Their anger finds an outlet in violence  and Liz is
torn between loyalty to them and her colleagues and job. In this novel based on the true events
of the Yorkshire Ripper murders and the feminist arson campaign it triggered targeting porn
outlets  Ajay Close combines the tension of a police procedural with the power and passion of
the Women's Lib movement. By turns emotional  action-packed  and darkly funny  What Doesn't
Kill Us reveals just how much the world has changed since the 1970s-and how much it hasn't
