Nights in White Satin

"It's May week in Cambridge, a time of wild excess following the end of exams. Dressed to the nines, the students of St. John's College are anticipating an all-night party. But for Laura Principal, the private investigator with the unenviable task of keeping gate-crashers out and revellers safe, the May Ball turns sour when Katie Arkwright disappears."--BOOK JACKET. "In her white satin dress and with her halo of blonde curls, Katie looked angelic. But Laura discovers that her past, which included a spell with a shady escort agency to subsidise her studies, has been anything but. The game has turned nasty. And unless she can get to her in time, Katie may have no future at all."--BOOK JACKET. "Laura's investigation focuses on Bartholomew's college, Cambridge, where the present is tainted by dark echoes of the past. And when a senior tutor is found battered to death, it becomes only too clear how sinister are the secrets concealed behind Cambridge's cool facades."--BOOK JACKET. "Meanwhile Laura's friend and colleague Stevie is in love, and her partner Sonny is behaving strangely out of character. As her search turns from difficult to dangerous, it dawns on Laura that even if she finds Katie Arkwright and brings her home, what awaits them both in Cambridge may be nastier still."--BOOK JACKET.
