The Second Wexford Omnibus

Three compelling Wexford mysteries in one volume:

A GUILTY THNG SURPRISED:

Someone must have had good reason to murder. Mrs Elizabeth Nightingale on a dark September night. And as Detective Chief Inspector Wexford investigates. he discovers sinister undercurrents and dramatic secrets beneath the calm surface of the Nightingales lives.

NO MORE DYING THEN

Seven-and-a-half months after the first disappearance. five-year-old John Lawrence failed to come home. It was only then that the letters began. Evil, mad, taunting letters – letters that made the worst, unspoken imaginings a brutal reality.

MURDER BEING ONCE DONE

In a gloomy London cemetery, a girl is found murdered: a girl with a name that isn’t hers, a girl with no friends, no possessions and no past. It shouldn’t have been a case for Wexford – but it is destined to become one of the most macabre and challenging investigations of his career.
