Harm done: (an Inspector Wexford mystery )

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

On the day Lizzie came back from the dead, the police and her family and neighbors had already begun to search for her body. She had been missing for three days. Never an articulate child, between confusion and amnesia she wasn't able to plausibly describe where she'd been, or why she'd been away Soon after, a convicted pedophile is released back into the community, preying on the heightened fears of parents in the Muriel Campden Estate where he lives. Then the child of a wealthy executive disappears, and not long after, the man himself is found stubbed to death.

Chief Inspector Wexford is charged with solving the mysterious disappearances, protecting a pedophile, and catching a killer. Searching for connections, he finds himself focusing on domestic violence. As Wexford moves closer to the truth, he confronts the discomfiting lesson that when it comes to the inner life of a family, justice is rarely as straightforward as the letter of the law.
