It’s a cold, grey morning when soldiers on an exercise drill find a smouldering body up on the moors.

But the case is getting more complicated with every new discovery. Why is this clearly neglected child wearing a solid gold ring? A ring that belonged to a local MP — before he died of pneumonia some months ago?

Then two more children go missing from a local children’s home. The race is on for DI Piercy to find them before any more bodies are burnt on the moors.

THE DETECTIVE
DI Joanna Piercy, newly promoted to inspector, is already an outsider in this remote moorland town. And now she has to deal with the ire of her male colleagues who were passed over for the job. But Joanna knows her own mind, and doesn’t need friends to get the job done. She’s gotten used to them calling her the ‘Ice Maiden’ and the ‘Snow Queen’ by now.

THE SETTING
Leek is a bustling historic market town nestled in the Staffordshire Moorlands. The surrounding area of high, bleak moors are peppered with isolated farms, small holdings and cottages. This small town and its surrounding rugged moorlands, complete with spectacular views, are full of local character — and danger.
