High Rise Mystery is the UK’s first detective series to feature two young black detectives. Written by Sheffield based author and artistic director of Site Gallery, Sharna Jackson, the novel follows two streetwise sisters in London who make a chilling discovery. They decide to take matters into their own hands and spend their summer holidays getting to the bottom of things. Malorie Blackman has said “more detective series featuring children of colour are long overdue” and Jackson’s thrilling novel dusts off the old murder mystery genre for a new generation.
