With twists and turns at every corner, Clutching At Straws is a heart-pumping tale of crime and the criminal justice system set in the gritty streets of Glasgow.

Scotland, 1687. An unforgiving place for women who won't conform. Pregnant and betrayed, eighteen-year-old Jonet takes refuge among an outlawed group of religious dissidents. Here, Widow Helen offers friendship and understanding, but Helen's own beliefs have already seen her imprisoned once. Can she escape the authorities a second time?

Cuddies Strip follows the investigation and trial of a true crime, but it also examines the treatment of women in a male-dominated society. It is an absorbing period piece from 1930s Scotland, but with strong contemporary resonances about the nature and responsiveness of police services and the ingrained misogyny of the criminal justice system.
