Story
In his Cornish hideaway, retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder's solitary life is disturbed by a call from his estranged wife, telling him his 17-year-old daughter, Katherine, is running wild, unbalanced by a rape he feels he should have prevented. Meanwhile, in London, the capture of a violent criminal goes badly wrong, and Detective Sergeant Maddy Birch is uneasy about the reasons why, an uneasiness that is compounded when she starts to believe she is being stalked.

No Case for Re-Morse

Summary
From the master of British crime writing comes Frank Elder’s last case.
When his estranged daughter Katherine suddenly appears on his doorstep, Elder knows that something is badly wrong. The breakdown of her relationship with a controversial artist has sent her into a self-destructive tailspin which culminates in murder. And as Elder struggles to protect Katherine and prove her innocence, the terrors of the past threaten them both once more.
Critic reviews
"No one in Britain is writing better crime fiction." (Times)
"If he gets any better, the rest of us may have to kill him." (Reginald Hill)
"Harvey's unpredictable mixture of tenderness and cruelty is frighteningly well delineated, reinforcing the well-plotted suspense of a book with a depth few works of crime fiction attain." (Independent)
