Reviews" Fishnet is a determined debut from an inimitable talent. Kirstin Innes takes the reader on a remarkable, authentic journey into the contemporary realm of prostitution." --Lisa O'Donnell, nationally b estselling author of The Death of Bees, "It's dark and provocative, and it holds its gaze steady on the sex industry. Here's a new writer with huge talents and promise." --Sarah Hall, author of The Electric Michelangelo , a Man Booker Prize finalist, " Fishnet contains many more instances of gritty brilliance following its dramatic start... Fishnet is one of those rare and refreshing crime novels in which the victim isn't victimized, and where her life and community are as important as the mystery of her disappearance." -- New York Times Book Review, "Innes strikes sparks by rubbing a clandestine world (here, prostitution in Scotland) against the everyday. Unsettling and seductive, this tale of two sisters is moving, gripping, and unforgettable." -- The Independent, "It's extremely rare for a novel actually to change public attitudes, but Fishnet already has." -- The Herald, "Bold, sensual, and unflinching, Fishnet lays bare a world too often misjudged and misunderstood. Kirstin Innes writes with courage, warmth, and real insight. This is a hugely enjoyable and important book." --Emma Jane Unsworth, award-winning author of Animals, "[ Fishnet ] asks difficult and brave questions about prostitution . . . Innes presents convincing characters, living believable lives, and so she is able to dig deeper into these emotive issues than facts and stats alone can hope to go." -- The Guardian

SynopsisA woman's search for her missing sister leads her into the world of contemporary sex work in this "thoughtful, bruising, poignant, and poetic" (Ian Rankin) debut that offers a clear-eyed look at the lives of sex workers, questioning our perception of contemporary femininity and challenging assumptions about power, vulnerability, and choice., A "thoughtful, bruising, poignant, and poetic" (Ian Rankin) debut in which a woman's search for her missing sister leads her into the world of contemporary sex work. Rona Leonard was only twenty-years-old when she walked out of her sister Fiona's flat and disappeared. Six years later--worn down by a tedious job, childcare, and an aching absence in her life--Fiona's mundane existence is blown apart by the revelation that Rona had been working as a prostitute before she vanished. Driven to discover the truth, Fiona embarks on an obsessive quest to investigate the sex industry that claimed her sister. However, as she is drawn into this complex world, Fiona finds herself seduced by the power it offers women in a society determined to see them only as victims. In bold, unflinching prose, Fishnet offers a clear-eyed look at the lives of sex workers, questioning our perception of contemporary femininity and challenging assumptions about power, vulnerability, and choice.
