No Man's Nightingale is a novel by crime writer Ruth Rendell published in 2013,[1][2] It featuring her recurring protagonist Inspector Wexford. The novel is the second in which Wexford has appeared after his retirement, and on this occasion is called in to consult on a crime by his ex-colleague and friend Mike Burden.
No Man's Nightingale is, initially, about the (female) vicar (Sarah Hussain) of Saint Peter's Church (in Kingsmarkham) who's been found dead in the vicarage - strangled. Reginald Wexford, now retired as a policeman, assists with the murder investigation,[3]
This was the last novel in the Inspector Wexford series as Rendell died on 2 May 2015, having suffered a stroke earlier that year.
