Kriminalni prvenec Josepha Knoxa se odvija na ulicah in beznicah današnjega Manchestra. V kalno atmosfero nas uvedejo naslovi poglavij, ki si jih je avtor izposodil pri glasbenih albumih domačinov ...Joy Division in mu pomagajo razvijati kuliso za manchesterski noir. Delo detektiva Aidana Waitsa se preplete z nesrečnimi usodami deklet z ulice – sirenami, ki delajo za lokalnega mafijskega šefa. Njegova naloga je bila, da se infiltrira na ulice in pod krinko opazuje delovanje preprodaje mamil, nato pa se mednje prišteje še nadzorovanje mladoletne hčerke poslanca. Detektiv se vedno bolj izgublja med uradnimi in neuradnimi nalogami, bremenom krinke, posledicami uživanja drog, dvojnimi igrami in svojo empatijo do deklet z ulice. Vse to se preplete v izredno napeto in zanimivo branje, ki bralcu dovoli užitek, da na koncu poveže razpuščene niti. Zgodbe z detektivom Waistom dobivajo tudi nadaljevanja, v slovenščino je že prevedena naslednja iz serije, Smehljaj smrti.
