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).

With her wedding day approaching, Detective Inspector Joanna Piercy doesn't need the stress of a disciplinary hearing—or the disapproval of her soon-to-be in-laws. She'd welcome nearly any distraction from her complicated life. But she takes no joy in the grim realities of her current case.

On a snowy December morning, fourteen-year-old Kayleigh Harrison is found outside Patches nightclub in Leek. Nearly naked and half dead from the cold, she says she has been raped. As Joanna investigates, she uncovers Kayleigh's history of unsubstantiated allegations against her stepfather. But there are possible links to a similar rape case six months previously. And when another underage girl disappears from the same nightclub, the disturbing pattern of a predator begins to emerge.
