Publisher Description
She disappeared fifteen years ago. Frank Elder never stopped looking.
Long after Susan Blacklock's disappearance, Detective Inspector Frank Elder has taken early retirement, but the case still plagues his mind – one failure he can never fix.
The prime suspects were jailed for another murder. Now, one of them is on parole – until he vanishes too.
And then the postcards start arriving. Postcards from the killer. Postcards of Elder's daughter...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Acclaimed for his Charlie Resnick series (Lonely Hearts, etc.), British author John Harvey introduces a new detective hero, Frank Elder, in Flesh and Blood, a competent if plodding story of an old unsolved case and a teenage girl's disappearance. While the dogged Elder shares many habits with Resnick, from a prodigious appetite for common food to a difficulty with maintaining relationships, he lacks his predecessor's zest for life. Agent, Kimberly Witherspoon at Witherspoon Associates.
