Masters, Priscilla. Joanna Piercy mysteries

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
