Staffordshire DI Joanna Piercy is on the hunt for a nightclub-going
sexual predator in this gritty British mystery that "doesn't settle
for easy answers" (Publishers Weekly). On a snowy December morning
a young woman is found outside Patches nightclub in Leek. Half dead
from the cold and partially clothed she says she has been raped.
But as Detective Inspector Joanna Piercy, fresh from a disciplinary
action, investigates, she learns that Kayleigh Harrison has made
unsubstantiated allegations before against her stepfather.
Investigations reveal that six months previously there was a
similar rape case in Newcastle under Lyme, the girl dying of
natural causes. Is Joanna stepping on a cakewalk, or are the two
cases connected? Should she relegate Kayleigh's story to the
back-burner or is there a real case to investigate? What is fact
and what fiction? Kayleigh holds the key - but how much can her
story be trusted? Then a third girl disappears from the same
nightclub as Kayleigh. DI Piercy's judgement is called into
question just as she is supposed to be planning her own wedding.
