Synopsis

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.

About this title

About the Author:

John Harvey is the author of the richly-praised sequence of ten 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.’ In 2004, William Heinemann published Flesh and Blood, the first novel featuring retired Detective Inspector Frank Elder. He is also a poet, dramatist and occasional broadcaster.

Review:

No one escapes the glare of the author's insights or the warmth of his compassion for the pathetic frailties of human nature. -- The New York Times Book Review, Marilyn Stasio

Off Minor is John Harvey's fourth in the Charlie Resnick series. It's as good as any of the earlier entries, which makes it smashing. -- The Philadelphia Inquirer

Suffused with the dark, moody rhythms of the jazz that Resnick loves, Off Minor is a treat. -- San Francisco Chronicle
