I can remember getting a book out of the library a few years ago, a crime novel. That was set in Leeds around Bramley and Headingley. It was pretty good but I just can't remember who the author was, any ideas anyone? The author mentioned street names both true and fictional ones. If anyone knows this author I'd be well made up for some info.

The best fiction book is the History of Button Hill, charting the changes of Chapletown pre WWI and post WWI. Fascinating!
