Book description
The fourth DI Charlie Resnick novel, from the master of British
crime writing.
Little Gloria Summers' body has been found, hidden inside two
plastic bin bags in a disused warehouse. Somewhere in the city, a
child killer is on the loose, free to strike again. Then Emily
Morrison vanishes on a sunny Sunday afternoon. A week later there are
still no clues.
Inspector Charlie Resnick is as appalled as the media. But years of
patient police work have taught him a thing or two - including his
conviction that those who jump to easy conclusions are often the last
ones to solve a crime.
John Harvey is the author of the richly praised Charlie Resnick
novels, the first of which, Lonely Hearts, was named by The
Times as one of the '100 Best Crime Novels of the Century'. His
first novel featuring Frank Elder, Flesh and Blood, won the CWA
Silver Dagger in 2004, and a Barry Award for the Best British Crime
Novel published in the US in 2004. In 2007 John Harvey was awarded the
CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger and in 2009 he was awarded an honorary
degree, Doctor of Letters, by the University of Nottingham.
