Cold light by John Harvey
From the back cover:
A cabbie’s just been beaten up, there’s a drunk and disorderly in the interview room and a possible child abuser on the way in. Nothing unusual there, then, just a pretty normal Christmas holiday for DI Resnick and his team. Normal, that is, until Dana Matheison calls to report her flatmate, Nancy, missing.
Another fast-paced and compelling outing for Resnick. They do seem to get better each time.
