Synopsis

Liz is Nicola. Nicola is a stripper. And a stripper is about to die.When Liz Pendle moves from the north of England to go to university in London, her life is about to change in more ways than she can imagine. Persuaded by her flatmate Zuzzi that stripping is an easy way to make money to pay off her student loan, Liz is soon taking her clothes off in some of London’s seediest pubs and clubs. But when a stripper is found murdered, Liz is lured even further into this secret world. She must decide just how far she’s prepared to go to help unmask the killer.“The lifestyle of strip clubs and strippers is both thought-provoking and captivating and from the opening chapter I felt myself lured into areas of London and people that have, until now, been ignored by most writers. Mike Gerrard has done his research well … This is a brilliant read: fast-moving, exciting and it will appeal to male and female readers alike.”Mari Nicholson, award-winning writer“Award-winning travel writer Mike Gerrard turns to the world of fiction in his first novel, Strip Till Dead. He uses his knowledge of geography and cultural traditions to good purpose in a look at the underside of society.The mystery aspect of Strip Till Dead lures the reader into the story, offering clues like breadcrumbs along a woodland path. Gerrard plots his story well and carries it off with flair. The characters each show great consistency of personality throughout, even as they reveal the depth of that personality.Gerrard's descriptions of locales and journeys fortify the narrative with a richness…This gritty novel … offers a glimpse into the seedy backstreets of a major city from the perspective of a relative newcomer. You'll take a walk in the dark with a young lady who faces it with inner strength.”4-star Review of Amazon Kindle Version“This book gives one a look into the world of the stripper in London. The seedy places with even seedier people gave you a feeling of being right on stage with them. Strippers were brought into a new light for me, showing that they are more than the common misconceptions… worth reading.”Amazon Kindle 3-star Review
