Mayors' Tales

Salford in England has been a city since 1270 but it has never elected a Mayor before not until now. The town has been transfixed by the sight of numerous hopefuls falling over themselves to put their names forward and sieze the prestigious - and well-paid - new position. Greed ambition naked scramble for power all the worst qualities of the human psyche have come to the fore and Melia is involved but only because her Uncle has asked for her help in getting a friend of his elected. Later it gets more difficult especially when Uncle Mart puts his own name forward and then blackmail sexual assault and murder get added to the mix. Can Melia win through or equally as important can the good name of Salford survive such a depressing spectacle?
