The third DI Frank Elder novel, from the master of British crime writing. It's clear to Elder that this is the work of the same unbalanced individual and, to find the killer, Elder must shine a light into the darkest recesses of human behaviour, the dark and twisted recesses of a disturbed human mind.
Elder's fears for his daughter are underscored by guilt - it was his involvement in a case that led directly to the abduction and rape which has so unbalanced Katherine's life. Persuaded out of retirement, Elder reopens a cold case which could have devastating repercussions for the crime squad itself.
Sloane walks free from prison after taking the rap for a high-profile art scam. And the deeper the police dig into Vincent Delaney's business affairs, uncovering underworld associations, the more Delaney feels cornered, and the more unpredictable and dangerous he becomes.
When police detective Will Grayson and his partner, Helen Walker, are called upon to investigate the violent death of Stephen Bryan, a gay Cambridge academic, their first thoughts are off an ill-judged sexual encounter, of rough trade gone wrong.
Little Gloria Summersââ?¬â?¢ body has been found, hidden inside two plastic bin bags in a disused warehouse. Then Emily Morrison vanishes on a sunny Sunday afternoon. But years of patient police work have taught him a thing or two ââ?¬â?? including his conviction that those who jump to easy conclusions are often the last ones to solve a crime.
Hardly what two small-time crooks were expecting to find when they broke into TV director Harold Roy's shabby mansion. And as his investigations lead him down the mean streets of the TV industry and an inner-city drugs ring, it's obvious that more than one person is dancing on thin ice.
_________________________The first book in the DI Charlie Resnick series, from the master of British crime writingShirley Peters is dead. And itââ?¬â?¢s up to Resnick to put the record straight ââ?¬â?? and put the bastard where he belongs.
Lorraine Preston's brother, Michael, was sent down for life for the murder of their father - and now he's being allowed out for their mother's funeral. With his previously stable relationship with Hannah Campbell wavering, Resnick is forced back on his self-belief, his understanding of people.
Nothing unusual there, then, just a pretty normal Christmas holiday for DI Resnick and his team. Pretty soon the police have proof that Nancy was kidnapped, and then - as the New Year celebrations wind down - the first tape arrives, and Resnick knows they're dealing with a dangerous psychopath.
A series of brutal robberies takes Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick back ten years. To a time when a rash of similar incidents left him face to face with a frenzied sociopath who brought his life to a premature end - and to a time when his wife ran off with her lover, and leaving him with a psychic wound that still hasn't healed.
The battered body of a young woman is found floating in the still water of an inner-city canal. Police suspect a serial killer, which makes it a case for the newly formed Serious Crime Squad. Not DI Charlie Resnick's case, then; not his worry. But soon another body is found, and this time Charlie has a personal interest.
A savage assault with a scalpel leaves Dr Tim Fletcher's body badly slashed in a deserted walkway - the first victim in a series of brutal assaults on hospital staff. As panic grips the city, it's up to Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick to find the killer. Faced with a mass of clues that lead nowhere and a past he cannot forget.
En ung gutt er på vei ut av fengsel etter å ha sonet for voldtekt og drap på en ung jente. En politietterforsker klarer ikke glemme jenta som forsvant for femten år siden. Når Shane Donald stikker av under prøveløslatelsen og sekstenårige Emma Harrison brutalt blir myrdet, bestemmer Frank Elder seg for å gjenoppta en gammel, uløst forsvinningssak. Frank gjør nye oppdagelser, og blir involvert langt utover sin rolle som etterforsker. Særlig etter at han mottar postkort fra morderen
When a man is found in the middle of Alfreton Road in the early hours one Sunday morning, stark naked and bleeding heavily from a chest wound, he is the latest in a series of viscous attacks on men. Chronically short-staffed as he is, it's a guessing game as to when Resnick's lack of manpower will have fatal consequences.
With his highly-praised sequence of novels featuring Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick, John Harvey created not only an unforgettable character of great depth and complexity, but a realistic and richly-peopled inner-city world of struggling heroes and feckless villains.
But when the senior investigating officer is then found brutally murdered, DI Charlie Resnick is put on the case, and uncovers some sinister and startling revelations. It also brings Resnick into contact with Hannah Campbell, with whom he finds himself falling unexpectedly and awkwardly in love.
When a seventeen-year-old Moldovan boy is found dead on Hampstead Heath, the case falls to DCI Karen Shields and her overstretched HomicideSerious Crime team. What she doesn't know is that her new case is tied to a much larger web of gang warfare and organised crime which infiltrates almost every aspect of London society.
Interpreting the Pauline Letters – An Exegetical Handbook

The inaugural volume in the Handbooks for New Testament Exegesis series, Interpreting the Pauline Letters begins by exploring the components of narrative--setting, characterization, and plot--and then develops the foremost theological themes in each of the books traditionally ascribed to Paul. The method sets the task of exegesis within the literary context of first-century letters as well as the theological context of major themes present in Paul's letters. The book goes beyond exegesis to discuss strategies for communicating the central truthesof Paul's first-century messages to a twenty-first-century audience. Each chapter includes a list of helpful resources to the step of interpretation discussed. A glossary defining technical words and samples of moving from exegesis to proclamation make this guide practical and user-friendly. Designed as a handbook for seminary and graduate students, the book provides a go-to guide that will also serve seminary-trained pastors, upper-level college students, and well-motivated lay people. As readers work through this handbook, they will begin to see and interpret the narrative writings as Paul intended them to be understood.
First published in 1942, Reflections documents the life of John Henry Muirhead and the philosophical age that he observed. The first part of the volume derives from Muirhead’s own autobiographical narrative, left unfinished when he died in May 1940. The second part features two final chapters written by John W. Harvey that comprehensively record the final stages of Muirhead’s life. Harvey’s chapters incorporate Muirhead’s unfinished final years of commentary and begin at the man’s retirement from Birmingham Chair in 1921. As a student and teacher of philosophy, Muirhead’s life ran almost precisely parallel to what he himself refers to as ‘one of the most vivid and important movements in British and American philosophy’. He came into contact with some of the age’s primary thinkers and as such, his own autobiography is important in providing an insight into his contemporary philosophical environment.
