NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN

Laura Principal, head of a private security agency in Cambridge, England, is a 40-something private investigator who is refreshingly tough and unexpectedly vulnerable to the fancies of love. Julia Sands conveys Laura’s complex character convincingly as she searches for an explanation to the disappearance of a young female student at the University who was being wooed by an older, more worldly student. The past explodes in a series of jarring fragments, bringing to light the hidden sorrow of an abandoned baby, as well as the dark sides of many of the characters.
