Every man is a suspect. Every woman is at risk. But in a house on Cleopatra Street, women are fighting back.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.
