Ne'er-Do-Well is a 1954 detective novel by the English author Dornford Yates (Cecil William Mercer), his only work of the genre. Although Richard Chandos narrates, the book is not generally classified as a 'Chandos' title.
Superintendent Falcon investigates the murder of Lord St Amont at the village of Ne'er-do-Well. Much of the story is set in a convent.
