Taken on the Moors
by Priscilla Masters

MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE DETECTIVE. DI JOANNA PIERCY IS AN OUTSIDER IN A REMOTE STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS TOWN.

Please note this book was previously published as Blood on the Rocks.

Detective Joanna Piercy is seven months pregnant and hating every second of it. Everyone wants to wrap her in cotton wool and her boss insists on sticking her with the ‘easy’ cases.

So she’s less than pleased to be tasked with finding a ninety-six-year-old man who went missing from a residential home in his slippers.

But things aren’t what they seem behind the gates of this old Victorian care home. Zachary would never go anywhere without his teddy . . . and a few days earlier, the bear suddenly disappeared. Detective Piercy knows Zachary can’t get far on his own. But there’s no sign of him. Who would abduct a frail old man?

As she desperately searches for Zachary, Joanna has no idea that someone from her past has come back to seek revenge on her — and her unborn child.

DARK SECRETS COME BACK TO HAUNT DETECTIVE PIERCY IN THIS QUIET STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS TOWN.

An accomplished police procedural with a stunningly realized heroine, perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Joy Ellis, L.J. Ross, Lynda La Plante, Angela Marsons, Jane Adams and Helen H. Durrant.

Genre: Crime and, or mystery fiction
