In good condition - ex library - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
An unidentifiable woman is found on a roadside. She has been beaten into a coma and raped. The man who finds her, troubled by his inability to resuscitate her, spends hours at her hospital bed, talking to the woman everyone calls Elise. Two years later Elise's condition is downgraded to persistent vegetative state - if the hospital takes her off life support, Elise's attacker will be guilty of her murder.
Now months away from retirement, Chief Superintendent Frances Harman has been assigned to investigate Elise's case. This is stacked on top of Fran's growing obligation to her elderly parents, a duty that takes her from Kent to Devon, and back, every weekend. Over cups of strong coffee, Fran sleepily contemplates her future as her irritable parents' caretaker.
Fran verges on overload as she takes on more and more responsibilities - her parents, Elise, a child abduction, the disappearance of her only witness, and the growing affection that she and her long-time colleague Mark Turner seem to share for one another.
In a satisfyingly complex story of deadly crime, kidnapping, disappearance, and identity theft, can this warhorse of a detective beat the odds, the stress, and the danger that may just be too much for one woman to handle?
